INCERT now offers accredited certification of anti-bribery management systems according to ISO 37001:2016. Following a positive assessment by the EA BAS, our accreditation certificate has been reissued for another four years, with the scope of accreditation expanded to include ISO 37001:2016.
ISO 37001:2016 is a standard for anti-bribery management systems.
Implementing the standard helps companies reduce the risks of corruption and illegal practices, which could lead to significant legal, financial, and reputational consequences. ISO 37001:2016 contributes to building trust among clients, partners, and stakeholders, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to honesty and ethics in business relationships. Last but not least, the standard provides a framework for developing effective measures to prevent corruption, which can improve the efficiency and sustainability of business processes.
If effectively utilized, ISO 37001:2016 could be a powerful tool in combating bribery and corruption. In some countries, local legislation has been introduced that allows an organization to avoid or reduce liability in cases of corruption involving its employees or business partners if it can demonstrate that it has implemented an effective anti-bribery program.
