This is the first international anti-bribery management system standard designed to help organisations combat bribery risk in their own operations and throughout their global value chains. Organisations can choose to be certified under ISO 37001, which requires an organisation’s anti-bribery management system to meet minimum criteria outlined by the standard. While certification under ISO 37001 does not serve to guarantee that no bribery has occurred or will not take place in relation to an organisation, compliance to the standard can demonstrate appropriate measures undertaken by an organisation to prevent bribery.
