Anti-bribery and Anti-Corruption

Acts of bribery or corruption are designed to influence an individual in the performance of their duty and incline them to act in a way that a reasonable person would consider to be dishonest in the circumstances.

It is the policy of Cyberware that all staff conduct business in an honest way, and without the use of corrupt practices or acts of bribery to obtain an unfair advantage. Cyberware will not tolerate bribery or corruption in any form. 

Offering, giving, solicitation or the acceptance of any bribe or corrupt inducement, whether in cash or in any other form is prohibited:

• to or from any person or company wherever located, whether a public official or public body, or a private person or company;
• by any individual employee, director, agent, consultant, contractor or other person or body acting on Cyberware’s behalf; 
• in order to gain any commercial, contractual, or regulatory advantage for Cyberware in any way which is unethical or to gain any personal advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for the individual or anyone connected with the individual.

The prevention, detection and reporting of bribery or corruption is the responsibility of all employees throughout the firm.  If you become aware or suspect that an activity or conduct which is proposed or has taken place is a bribe or corrupt, then you have a duty to report this to The Company Secretary.

 It may not always be a simple matter to determine whether a possible course of action is appropriate.  If you are in any doubt as to whether a possible act might be in breach of this policy or the law, the matter should be referred to your Head of Department. 

Cyberware will investigate thoroughly any actual or suspected breach of this policy, or the spirit of this policy.  Employees found to be in breach of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action which may ultimately result in their dismissal.
