Bribes and Kickbacks

Bribes and kickbacks are illegal in nearly every country. Offering, accepting, or requesting anything of value to influence a business decision or government action is strictly prohibited.

Key Points

Employees must never:

Offer, request, or accept bribes or kickbacks directly or through a third party.
Make “facilitating” payments, including tips, to government officials to expedite routine actions, such as issuing permits or completing paperwork.

Even non-cash gifts may be seen as bribes, so always exercise caution.
