ISO 37001:2016
Anti-bribery management system
A very interesting system, especially for the public sector and local government, but also for the private sector. This system establishes control mechanisms that have the task of maximally preventing any possible corrupt activity in the organization and outside it. Bribery is one of the most destructive and challenging issues in the world. With more than a billion dollars in bribes paid annually, the consequences are disastrous, reducing quality of life, increasing poverty and deteriorating public confidence.
