  One per line.

  For example: Cash or equivalents such as vouchers Gifts to a person who is deciding on our bid Anything given in secret or that would embarrass us if public

• Agents, suppliers and partners

  For example: We check who we work with before we start, put anti-bribery terms in contracts, and watch payments for unusual commission or cash.

• Records

  For example: All gifts, hospitality and payments are recorded accurately in the gift register. No false or hidden accounts.

• Training

  For example: All staff are trained when they join and once a year. Staff in sales, purchasing and dealings with officials receive extra training.
