Prohibited Conduct
The Company prohibits the offering, giving, solicitation or acceptance of any bribe (whether cash or other inducement) to or from any person or company (wherever they are situated and whether they are a public official or body or private person or company), by any individual employee, agent or other person or body acting on behalf of the company, in order to gain any commercial, contractual or regulatory advantage for the company in a way that is unethical, or in order to gain any personal advantage (financial or otherwise) for the individual or anyone connected with the individual.
This policy prohibits any inducement that results in a personal gain or advantage to the recipient or any person or body associated with them, and which is intended to influence them to take action that may not be solely in the interests of the company or of the person or body employing them or whom they represent.

Facilitation Payments
Facilitation payments are strictly prohibited. Associates must not make or receive payments to expedite routine actions or secure preferential treatment.
