It is based on the principles of good governance, transparency and sustainability. The standard sets out a clear framework of Compliance Directives, the adoption of which, through the development of an integrated system, sets the conditions for effective and efficient compliance management.
- ISO 37001:2016 – Anti- Bribery Management System. An international standard for anti-bribery management systems. It reflects international best practices in all jurisdictions and concerns both the demand and supply side of bribery. It sets out the measures to be implemented in a proportionate and reasonable manner, with a view to preventing, detecting and tackling corruption by creating a strong anti-corruption framework. The standard sets out how to operate an effective anti-corruption management system, including bribery risk assessment, the implementation of financial and non-financial controls and awareness-raising training.
- ISO 37002:2021 – Whistleblower System. A standard for the infringement reporting system.
