ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System

About ISO 37001 Anti-bribery Management

ISO 37001 is the new international standard designed to help organizations implement an Anti-bribery Management System (ABMS). It specifies a series of measures your organization can implement to help prevent, detect and address bribery.

Designed to be integrated into your organization's existing management processes and controls, ISO 37001 also follows the common ISO structure for management system standards, for easy integration with ISO 9001 for example.

The requirements specified by ISO 37001 address two key areas:

Bribery by the organization, its personnel or business associates for its own gain
Bribery of the organization, its personnel or business associates in relation to its activities

Is ISO 37001 right for your business?

The standard is flexible and can be adapted to manage many types of bribery and suits a wide range of organizations including:

Large organizations and enterprises
Small and medium-sized enterprises
Public and not-for-profit organizations
Non-government organizations (NGOs) and charities
