BS 10500:2011

Nobody likes to think it happens in their organization but unfortunately, criminal offences like bribery and corruption do occur. That’s why BSI has developed BS 10500 Anti-bribery Management Systems Specification ; providing step-by-step guidance to implementing the right policies, procedures and controls to mitigate bribery risk. As anti-bribery legislation gets tougher, the risk of corruption grows, particularly within the global markets in which we operate. Proven anti-bribery guidelines are expected to become a business requirement, which is why we recommend that you get ahead now. Whatever your location, an independently certified ABMS provides evidence that your anti-bribery practices are robust. Get the support you need to maintain and continually improve these processes at the level required to protect your business, supply chain and most importantly, your employees. BS 10500 outlines a systematic approach to managing bribery that encourages you to routinely monitor and improve your controls in proportion to the risks you face. That way, you'll be able to identify and address vulnerabilities early - before they have a chance to escalate. The standard applies to organizations of all sizes, sectors and locations and is relevant to businesses in both the public and private sector. The anti-bribery standard is highly recommended for those working in industries with a greater exposure to risk, such as construction, engineering, defence, mining and utilities. BS 10500 allows you to:

Enable stronger confidence, better reputation and more business Identify risks early and prove you have measures in place Routinely monitor and improve controls Manage risk across your business, including supply chains Continually improve and deliver best practice in managing risks.
