Anti-bribery management

ISO 37001:2025
Anti-bribery management

A policy against bribery means little without controls that would catch it.

ISO 37001 certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented reasonable and proportionate measures to prevent, detect and respond to bribery.

Who it is for. Contractors, suppliers to government, financial institutions, listed companies and organizations operating in higher-risk markets.

  • Bribery risk assessment
  • Anti-bribery policy and the compliance function
  • Due diligence on transactions, projects and business associates
  • Financial and non-financial controls
  • Gifts, hospitality, donations and similar benefits
  • Raising concerns, investigation and handling of breaches

Each area above is assessed on objective evidence — records, interviews and direct observation of work.

How the audit runs

Audit time is determined on the basis of ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 clause 9.1.4 and the audit-time rules applicable to the scheme. Remote auditing never reduces the required audit time.

01.
Stage 1

Review of documentation, readiness and scope, and planning of Stage 2.

02.
Stage 2

On-site evaluation of implementation and effectiveness; findings are recorded.

03.
Decision & surveillance

An independent decision, then annual surveillance through the three-year cycle.

Why organizations seek it

01

Reduced exposure to bribery risk

02

Evidence of reasonable measures to regulators and partners

03

Stronger due diligence on third parties

04

Protection of reputation and contracts

Certification gives independent confidence in the system; it does not by itself guarantee any commercial outcome.

Edition and transition

Audits are conducted against ISO 37001:2025, the current edition.

Auditing with other standards

Where the system is integrated with others, the standards can be audited together in one visit; duration is calculated for each standard and then adjusted for the actual degree of integration.

  • What do I need to apply?
    Legal name, sites, scope of activities, headcount and shift pattern, outsourced processes, any existing certificate, and whether you received consultancy on the system and from whom.
  • Why do you ask about consultancy?
    Because we do not certify a system on which a body related to us provided consultancy, and every application is screened for conflicts of interest before it is accepted.
  • Will the certificate carry an accreditation mark?
    Not before accreditation is granted. Certificates are currently issued without an accreditation mark.
