ISO 37001 is the international standard establishing requirements for an anti-bribery management system to prevent, detect and address bribery.
ISO 37001:2016 specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an anti-bribery management system. It applies to organizations of any size, sector or jurisdiction, for both active and passive bribery.
Requires due diligence processes proportional to bribery risk for business associates, projects and personnel.
Requires controls over gifts, hospitality, donations, political contributions and other transactions with bribery risk.
The standard requires confidential mechanisms for reporting bribery suspicions without retaliation.
