ISO 37001 is a standard developed by the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) that provides requirements and guidance
for implementing an anti-bribery management system (ABMS). The standard
specifies a series of measures that organizations can take to prevent, detect,
and address bribery.
Obtaining ISO 37001 certification demonstrates anorganization’s commitment to preventing bribery and corruption. It can be
particularly beneficial for companies operating in regions where corruption is
prevalent or for those that operate globally and need to comply with various
anti-corruption laws and regulations.
To obtain certification, an organization must undergo an audit bya third-party certification body to ensure that its ABMS meets the requirements of ISO 37001. The audit assesses theorganization’s policies, procedures, and controls for preventing bribery and
corruption, as well as its ongoing monitoring and review processes.
ISO 37001 certification ABMS is not a guarantee that anorganization is free from bribery and corruption. However, it can provide
stakeholders with assurance that the organization has implemented a robust
anti-bribery management system and is taking appropriate measures to prevent,
detect, and address bribery.
