Purpose and scope
The purpose of this policy is to outline the Company’s position on preventing and prohibiting bribery, in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010 (“the Act”). It also provides guidance to those working for us on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
This policy applies to all employees and officers of the Company, and to temporary workers, consultants, contractors, agents and subsidiaries acting for, or on behalf of, the Company within the UK and overseas (“workers”).
Every worker is responsible for maintaining the highest standards of business conduct. Any breach of this policy could constitute a serious disciplinary, contractual and/or criminal matter for the individual concerned and may cause serious damage to the reputation and standing of the Company. The Company may also face criminal liability for unlawful actions relating to bribery taken by its workers.
