ISO 37001 was developed in response to a growing need for organizations to take proactive measures to prevent bribery and corruption. The standard is designed to help organizations to identify corruption and promote an anti-bribery culture by specifying the requirements for the successful implementation of an anti-bribery management system (ABMS).
Key Features of ISO 37001
The ISO 37001 standard can be integrated to your current management systems as it follows the same structure and framework of all ISO standards. Implementation allows congruity with other standards, such as ISO 9001.
ISO 37001 focuses on:
- The context of an organization, including the needs and expectations of stakeholders
- Leadership commitment
- Assessment of risks and opportunities, and actions taken to address them
- Monitoring and reporting
- Measures for achieving continual improvement
