Our Anti-Bribery & Corruption Promise
Involution Ltd is committed to applying the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in our business activity. It is our policy to conduct our business in an honest and ethical manner with every team member or an individual acting on the company’s behalf being responsible for maintaining our reputation and conducting business honestly and professionally.
We have a zero tolerance toward bribery and corruption, committed to operating professionally and fairly, with integrity in all business process and relationships. Involution Ltd believes in the benefit from carrying out business in a transparent and ethical way and we do not tolerate any form of bribery, in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010.
We uphold all relevant laws to counter bribery and corruption and any breach of our policies would be treated as grounds for disciplinary action and all should recognise that bribery is a criminal offence. Our team members are encouraged to report any suspected bribery to the Directors who will support any individuals who make such a report in good faith.
Who The Policy Applies To
- All individuals working at the company, including directors, senior managers, employees (whether permanent, fixed-term or temporary), trainees, homeworkers, interns, agents, sponsors, or any other person associated with us
- Third parties. We will undergo the relevant steps to ensure that any third parties we work with comply with the principles set out in this policy
Outlining Bribery & Corruption
Corruption is the misuse of office or power for private gain. A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage.
Outlining What Is Not Acceptable
We do not (nor do we procure someone) to:
- give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the expectation or hope that a business advantage will be received, or to reward a business advantage already given
- give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality to a government official, agent or representative to “facilitate” or expedite a routine procedure
- accept payment from a third party that we know or suspect is offered with the expectation that it will obtain a business advantage for them
- accept a gift or hospitality from a third party if we know or suspect that it is offered or provided with an expectation that a business advantage will be provided by us in return
- threaten or retaliate against another worker who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy
- engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this policy
Facilitation Payments & Kickbacks
We do not make, and will not accept, facilitation payments or “kickbacks” of any kind.
Kickbacks are typically payments made in return for a business favour or advantage. We avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, that a facilitation payment or kickback will be made or accepted by us.
Donations
We do not make contributions to political parties. We only make charitable donations that are legal and ethical under local laws and practices.
How To Raise A Concern
Third parties are encouraged to raise any concerns with us about any issue or suspicion of malpractice at the earliest possible stage by calling our office number on +44 (0) 113 256 0217 or emailing [email protected].
We will monitor the effectiveness and review the implementation of this policy, regularly considering its suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.
