1.2 Any employee who breaches this policy (or the spirit of this policy) will face disciplinary action, which could result in dismissal for gross misconduct. Any non-employee who breaches this policy may have their contract terminated with immediate effect. Where a breach of this policy amounts to an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 (PCA), the employee concerned may face criminal prosecution.

2.0 Who must comply with this policy?

2.1 This policy applies to all persons working for us or on our behalf in any capacity, including employees at all levels, directors, trustees, officers, agency workers, seconded workers, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third party representatives, business partners and any other person associated with Kaaizen Hr Services.

3.0 What is bribery?

3.1 Bribe means a financial or other inducement or reward for action, which is illegal, unethical, a breach of trust or improper in any way. Bribes can take the form of money, gifts, loans, fees, hospitality, services, discounts, the award of a contract or any other advantage or benefit that is intended to influence a decision or action.

3.2 Bribery includes offering, promising, giving, accepting or seeking a bribe.

3.3 Corruption means any form of abuse of power for business and/or personal gain and may include, but is not limited to, Bribery.

3.4 All forms of bribery are strictly prohibited. If you are unsure about whether a particular act constitutes bribery, raise it with the Managing director of Kaaizen Hr Services.

3.5 Specifically, you must not:

a. give or offer any payment, gift, hospitality or other benefit in the expectation or hope that a business advantage will be received in return, or to reward any business received;

b. accept any offer from a third party that you know or suspect is made with the expectation that we will provide a business advantage for them or anyone else;

c. engage in any other activity that might amount to Bribery or Corruption or otherwise lead to a breach of this policy.

3.6 You must not threaten or retaliate against another person who has refused to offer or accept a bribe or who has raised concerns about possible bribery or corruption.

4.0 Gifts and hospitality

4.1 This policy does not prohibit the giving or accepting of reasonable and appropriate hospitality for legitimate purposes such as building relationships, maintaining our image or reputation, or marketing our products and services.

4.2 A gift or hospitality will not be appropriate if it is unduly lavish or extravagant, or could be seen as an inducement or reward for any preferential treatment (for example, during contractual negotiations or a tender process).

4.3 Gifts must be of an appropriate type and value depending on the circumstances and taking account of the reason for the gift. Gifts must not include cash or cash equivalent (such as vouchers), or be given in secret. Gifts must be given in our name, not your name.

4.4 Promotional gifts of low value such as branded stationery may be given to or accepted from existing customers, suppliers and business partners.

5.0 How to raise a concern

5.1 If you are offered a bribe, or are asked to make one, or if you suspect that any bribery, corruption or other breach of this policy has occurred or may occur, you must notify Kaaizen HR Services as soon as possible.
