It is Anti Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy to conduct all of its business activities with honesty, integrity and the highest possible ethical standards and vigorously enforce its business practice, wherever it operates.
2.0 ELIGIBILITY & APPLICABILITY
2.1. This Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption Policy (this “Policy”) applies to all individuals at all levels and grades, including Directors, Senior Management, Office Staff, Officers, employees (whether permanent, fixed-term or temporary), consultants, contractors, trainees, seconded staff, casual workers, volunteers, interns, agents, or any other person associated with Company (collectively referred to as “You” or “you” in this Policy).

3.0 Responsible: Individual.
4.0 POLICY & PROCEDURE
4.1. General
A bribe is an inducement, payment, reward or advantage offered, promised or provided to any person in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage. It is illegal to directly or indirectly offer a bribe or receive a bribe. It is also a separate offence to bribe a government / public official. “Government/ public official” includes officials, whether elected or appointed, who hold a legislative, administrative or judicial position of any kind in the country.
A bribe may be anything of value and not just money — gifts, inside information, sexual or other favors, corporate hospitality or entertainment, offering employment to a relative, payment or reimbursement of travel expenses, charitable donation or social contribution, abuse of function — and can pass directly or through a third party. Corruption includes wrong doing on the part of an authority or those in power through means that are illegitimate, immoral or incompatible with ethical standards. Corruption often results from patronage and is associated with bribery.
4.2. Examples of bribery:
• Offering a bribe - Mohan, an employee of (Company Name) , offers a potential client, tickets to a major sporting event, but only if they agree to do business with Company Company. This would be an offence as Mohan is making an offer to gain a commercial advantage. It may also be an offence for the potential client to accept Mohan’s offer. Providing clients with hospitality is acceptable, provided the requirements, set out in section titled “Gifts and hospitality” are followed.
• Receiving a bribe – Arjun works in the Supply Chain Management Department. A regular supplier offers a job for Arjun’s cousin, but makes it clear, that in return they expect Arjun to use his influence to ensure company continue to do business with the supplier.
• Bribing a government official – Imran is asked to arrange for the record payment to be made to a customs official to speed up the administrative process of clearing our goods through customs.
4.3. Gifts and hospitality
Employees or members of their immediate families (spouse, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister or any of these step- or in-law relationships, whether established by blood or marriage including common law marriage) should not provide, solicit or accept cash or its equivalent, entertainment, favors, gifts or anything of substance to or from competitors, vendors, suppliers, customers or others that do business or are trying to do business with Company. Loans from any persons or companies having or seeking business with Company, except recognized financial institutions, should not be accepted. All relationships with those who Company deals with should be cordial, but must be on an arm’s length basis. Nothing should be accepted, nor should the employee have any outside involvement, that could impair, or give the appearance of impairing, an employee’s ability to perform his/her duties or to exercise business judgment in a fair and unbiased manner.
This Policy does not prohibit normal and appropriate gifts, hospitality, entertainment and promotional or other similar business expenditure, such as calendars, diaries, pens, meals and invitations to theatre and sporting events (given and received), to or from Third Parties. However, the key determining factor for appropriateness of the gift or hospitality and/or its value would be based on facts and circumstances under which such gift or hospitality is provided.
The practice of giving gifts and hospitality is recognized as an established and important part of doing business. However, it is prohibited when they are used as bribes. To avoid committing a bribery offence, the gift or hospitality must be: a. Reasonable and justifiable in all the circumstances b. Intended to improve the image of Company, better present its products and services or establish cordial relations
The giving or receiving gifts or hospitality is acceptable under this Policy if all the following requirements are met: a. It is not made with the intention of influencing a Third Party to obtain/ retain business or a business advantage or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage or in explicit or implicit exchange for favors/ benefits or for any other corrupt purpose b. It complies with the laws and customs c. It does not include cash or a cash equivalent (such as gift certificates or vouchers) d. It is appropriate in the circumstances. For example, in India. it is customary for small gifts to be given at Diwali time e. Taking into account the reason for the gift or hospitality, it is of an appropriate type and value and given at an appropriate time f. It is given openly, not secretly and in a manner that avoids the appearance of impropriety
Examples of Token Gifts: Corporate calendar, pens, mugs, books, T-shirts, wine bottles, bouquet of flowers or a pack of sweets or dry fruits.
If the gifts or hospitality given or received is more than a token gift or modest meal/ entertainment in the ordinary course of business, you must obtain prior written approval from your vertical head and must notify the Whistleblower Committee for recording in the gift and hospitality register.
The Whistleblower Committee will maintain a gift and hospitality register as a written record, setting out full details of the gift or hospitality given or received including the approximate value, the purpose or intention of the gift or hospitality, the name of the recipient and provider of the gift or hospitality and their relationship.
Examples of hospitality:
(i) Abhishek, a customer relationship manager, invites an important existing client to attend a fine dining or a football match as part of a public relations exercise designed to cement good relations and enhance the client’s knowledge of our services. Is this acceptable?
Yes. This hospitality seems to be reasonable and justifiable in all the circumstances and the intention is to improve Company image, better present our products and services and improve cordial relations.
(ii) Samantha invites a potential client to watch Wimbledon a week before the deadline for RFP opening for a large IT deal, which she hopes to secure in order to persuade them to accept her company’s RFP. Is this acceptable?
No. This hospitality would constitute bribery as it would be made with the intention of influencing the potential client to obtain business. The timing of this hospitality is important. If there was no RFP deadline you may be able to entertain the potential clients without breaching the law. This is because the intention of the hospitality would be then to improve the Company’s image, better present the products and services and establish cordial relations with the potential client.
(iii) Employees of Company company are invited to be a guest of an outside company or person at meetings, trips, etc, usually overnight, that have an emphasis on recreation of some type. Is it ok for you to participate?
The employee participation in such events should be limited only to those, where a benefit to Company Company is expected and as much of the employee expenses, as is possible and practical, should be paid by Company Company. The sponsor of the event should be in good standing with Company Company based on past performance.
(iv) A vendor offers a five-star, seven-day holiday package to Hawaii or Singapore to Aman, a Sales Manager at Company Company and his family as a token of his appreciation for a contract awarded to the Vendor. Can you go?
No. Taking into account the reason for the gift, the value of the holiday is excessive and unreasonable in the circumstances. Aman should politely decline the gift and explain that you cannot accept such an offer.
(v) A potential sub-contractor delivers a case of expensive wine to the office of Radheshyam, a week before Radheshyam has to make an purchase decision of the services or goods. Can Radheshyam accept the gift?
No. The gift appears to have been made with the clear intention of influencing Radheshyam to award the contract to the sub-contractor. Radheshyam should return the case of wine explaining that he cannot accept the gift and Radheshyam should assess the quote for the supply of services impartially with quotes Radheshyam has obtained from other sub-contractors.
4.4. What is not acceptable?
It is not acceptable for any employee of Company (or someone on his / her behalf) to:
a. Accept an offer of a gift of any size from any Third Party which is in negotiation with, or is submitting a proposal with Company. b. Give, promise to give or offer, any payment, gift, hospitality or advantage with the expectation or hope that a business advantage will be given or received or to reward a business advantage already given c. Give, promise to give or offer, any payment, gift or hospitality to a government official, agent or representative to “facilitate” or expedite a routine procedure d. Accept or solicit any payment, advantage, gift or hospitality from a Third Party that you know or suspect is being offered with the expectation that it will obtain a business advantage for them e. Threaten or retaliate against, another employee who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this Policy f. Engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this Policy
The points stated above are illustrative in nature and in no way intend to limit the applicability of this Policy.
4.5 Willful blindness
If an employee willfully ignores or turns a blind eye to any evidence of corruption or bribery within his / her department and/or around him / her, it will also be taken against the employee. Although such conduct may be “passive”, i.e. the employee may not have directly participated in or may not have directly benefited from the corruption or bribery concerned, the willful blindness to the same can, depending upon the circumstances, carry the same disciplinary action as an intentional act.
4.6 Facilitation payments and kickbacks
Neither an employee of Company nor any person acting on behalf of Company shall make and shall not accept facilitation payments or “kickbacks” of any kind. “Facilitation Payments” are typically small, unofficial payments (sometimes known as “grease payments”) made to secure or expedite a routine government action by a government official. “Kickbacks” are typically payments made to commercial organizations in return for a business favor/ advantage, such as a payment made to secure the award of a contract. You must avoid any activity that might lead to or suggest that a Facilitation Payment or Kickback will be made or accepted by Company.
4.6.1 Guidance on how to avoid making Facilitation Payments
Corrupt government officials demanding payments to perform routine government actions may often put people acting on behalf of Company in very difficult positions. Therefore, there is no easy solution to the problem. However, the following steps may help:
Insist on official receipts for any payments you make
Report suspicions, concerns, queries and demands for Facilitation Payments to the higher ups and to local enforcement authorities and refuse to make such payments
4.7 Blackmail / Extortions
We remain committed to our policy of not making Facilitation Payments. The only limited exception to this is in circumstances where you or the Third Parties are left with no alternative but to make payments in order to protect against loss of life, limb or liberty. In such circumstances, you make the payment and it is your immediate responsibility to contact your Manager as soon as possible after the event, so that the incident can be properly recorded, reviewed and accounted for with the authorities.
4.8 Charitable Donations
As part of its corporate citizenship activities, Company may support local charities or provide sponsorship, for example, to sporting or cultural events. We only make charitable donations that are legal and ethical under local laws and practices and also within the corporate governance framework of the organization.
