Transparency International: Business Principles For Countering Bribery

The principles for countering bribery represent a best-practice model for corporate anti-bribery programmes and policies. Developed using a multi-stakeholder approach, the document is founded upon two main undertakings:

1. The business shall prohibit bribery in any form whether direct or indirect
2. The business shall commit to a programme to counter bribery.

Following on from these, the document outlines the key components of an anti-bribery programme. These forms of programme are an essential component of a good compliance system and strategy and should be addressed and communicated effectively throughout a business.
