ISO 37001: Anti-Bribery Management System Certification
In today’s competitive and transparent business environment, integrity and ethical conduct have become key elements of sustainable success. ISO 37001:2016, the Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) standard, helps organizations prevent, detect, and respond to bribery and corruption in all forms. For organizations aiming to build trust and credibility, achieving ISO 37001 Certification through an accredited Certification Body is a strategic step toward ensuring compliance and accountability.
What is ISO 37001:2016?
ISO 37001 is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to assist organizations in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an anti-bribery management system. The standard provides a framework for preventing bribery in business activities, whether by employees, associates, or third parties acting on the organization’s behalf.
This system is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors—public, private, or non-profit—and can be integrated with other management systems such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety).
