* ISO 37001:2016 is a new international standard produced to help organizations prevent, detect and tackle bribery. It also covers compliance with anti-bribery legislation and what organizations can do voluntarily to protect themselves, via the use of management systems.

* In the age of transparency, no organization can afford to take the risk of bribery lightly. Investors, business associates, personnel and shareholders all need to be assured that the management has made every possible effort to prevent bribery at all levels of the organization. Implementing the ISO 37001 and certification through an independent third party enables you to do exactly that.

* The standard specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an anti-bribery management system. The system can be standalone or can be integrated into an overall management system and should help a company to promote trust and confidence in its business dealings and enhance its reputation.
