Anti-bribery management systems - Requirements with guidance for use
This document specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving an anti-bribery management system. The system can be stand-alone or can be integrated into an overall management system. This document addresses the following in relation to the organization’s activities:
— bribery in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors;
— bribery by the organization;
— bribery by the organization’s personnel acting on the organization’s behalf or for its benefit;
— bribery by the organization’s business associates acting on the organization’s behalf or for its benefit;
— bribery of the organization;
— bribery of the organization’s personnel in relation to the organization’s activities;
— bribery of the organization’s business associates in relation to the organization’s activities;
— direct and indirect bribery (e.g. a bribe offered or accepted through or by a third party).
This document is applicable only to bribery. It sets out requirements and provides guidance for a management system designed to help an organization to prevent, detect and respond to bribery and comply with anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments applicable to its activities.
The requirements of this document are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations (or parts of an organization), regardless of type, size and nature of activity, and whether in the public, private or not-for-profit sectors. The extent of application of these requirements depends on the factors specified in 4.1, 4.2 and 4.5.
NOTE 1 See Clause A.2 for guidance.
NOTE 2 The measures necessary to prevent, detect and mitigate the risk of bribery by the organization can be different from the measures used to prevent, detect and respond to bribery of the organization (or its personnel or business associates acting on the organization’s behalf). See A.8 for guidance.

About This Item
TS ISO 37001 specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and continually improving an anti-bribery management system. It is concerned with more than written policy: the standard supports a structured management approach for preventing bribery, detecting it when it occurs, and responding appropriately so the organization can manage bribery risk in a controlled and repeatable way.
What the anti-bribery management system covers
The document addresses bribery in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, and it distinguishes between bribery by the organization, bribery of the organization, and bribery connected with the organization’s personnel or business associates. It also covers direct and indirect bribery, including offers or acceptance made through a third party. This distinction matters because the appropriate controls depend on whether the risk sits inside the organization, comes from outside it, or arises through relationships acting on its behalf.
General technical context
In general technical terms, an anti-bribery management system combines leadership commitment, roles and responsibilities, risk assessment, due diligence, controls, reporting channels, investigation processes and improvement actions. Such systems are commonly designed to be proportionate to the organization’s size, structure and bribery exposure, and they may be integrated into a broader management system. As a subject, anti-bribery management is specific to bribery and should not be treated as a general-purpose ethics or fraud standard.
- Provides requirements plus guidance for an anti-bribery management system.
- Applies to bribery involving the organization, its personnel and its business associates.
- Includes direct and indirect bribery through third parties.
- Intended to be applicable to organizations of all types, sizes and sectors.
- May be implemented as a standalone system or integrated with other management systems.
