Policy

Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption Policy

​Introduction

​Bribery is a criminal offence that undermines institutional integrity and fairness. The Company maintains a strict zero-tolerance attitude toward any form of corruption or bribery, whether committed by direct employees or by third parties acting on our behalf.

​We demand compliance with the highest ethical and legal standards from everyone connected to our business. Integrity, honesty, and transparency are foundational to how we operate.

​Core Policy

​It is strictly prohibited for any employee, contractor, or person working on our behalf to directly or indirectly offer, give, request, solicit, or accept any form of bribe.

​A bribe includes, but is not limited to:

• ​Financial payments or cash inducements
• ​Gifts, loans, or rewards
• ​Hospitality or personal advantages

​These actions are forbidden if they are intended to influence a commercial, contractual, or regulatory outcome, or to secure an unethical personal advantage for an individual or anyone connected to them.

​Suspicion and Disciplinary Actions

​We take any allegation of corrupt activity seriously. If we suspect that an individual has engaged in bribery or attempted bribery:

• ​A formal and thorough internal investigation will be launched immediately.
• ​In accordance with our disciplinary procedures, proven breaches will result in severe action.
• ​Consequences may include summary dismissal for gross misconduct or the immediate termination of our business relationship with the third party involved.

​Reporting Procedures

​If you suspect that an act of bribery or attempted bribery has occurred within or alongside our organisation, you are expected to report it immediately—even if you are not personally involved.

• ​Who to Contact: Reports must be escalated directly to a Company Director.
• ​Documentation: You may be required to provide a written account of the timeline and events.
• ​Protection: Staff are reminded that they are fully protected under the Company’s Whistleblowing Policy, details of which can be found in the Employee Handbook.

​Gifts and Hospitality

​We recognize that in our sector, small tokens of appreciation or proportional hospitality given in the spirit of professional friendship are commonplace. These do not constitute bribery, provided they are transparent, proportionate, and properly documented.

​The Golden Rule: No gift or offer of hospitality should be given, extended, or accepted by any employee without receiving prior written approval from your Line Manager.

​If a gift or gesture is offered to you unexpectedly by a third party, business contact, or family, it must be reported to management immediately to ensure transparency.

​Record Keeping & Policy Reviews

​To maintain absolute transparency, Line Managers are required to maintain a formal register of all approved gifts and hospitality given or received.
