A bribe refers to any motive or benefit promised, offered or provided with the intention of gaining a commercial or personal advantage. The Bribery Act 2010 outlines two broad offenses: "active" bribery involves offering, promising, or giving a bribe, while "passive" bribery involves requesting, agreeing to receive, or accepting a bribe. The consequences for the company are significant which can have irreparable damage to our reputation. Consequently, it is imperative that everyone adheres to the procedures established by the company to prevent individuals associated with us from engaging in acts of bribery and corruption.

It is prohibited for any individual representing the company to engage in any form of bribery or corruption, including:

Offering, promising, or providing a payment, gift, or hospitality with the anticipation of receiving a financial or other advantage (such as a commercial or regulatory benefit), or as a reward for a previously granted business advantage.

Kickbacks and reciprocal agreements are unequivocally unacceptable.

We will never engage in offering or accepting facilitation or any other improper payments to acquire new business, maintain current business, or gain any improper advantage.

For instance, if a third party, client, or potential client offers something to gain an advantage with the company or suggests that a gift or payment is necessary to secure their business. It is encouraged to raise concerns promptly. If unsure whether an action constitutes bribery or corruption this should be consulted with the Managing Director. It is vital to inform the Managing Director promptly if offered a bribe by a third party, asked to give one, or suspect this potentially could happen in the future.
