Policy Statement – Anti Bribery

Bribery is a criminal offence. GENTEC does not, and will not, pay bribes or offer improper inducements to anyone for any purpose nor does it or will it accept bribes or improper inducements.
To use a third party as a conduit to channel bribes to others is a criminal offence. GENTEC does not, and will not, engage indirectly in or otherwise encourage bribery.
GENTEC is committed to the prevention, deterrence and detection of bribery. We have zero-tolerance towards bribery. We aim to maintain anti-bribery compliance as business as usual rather than as a one-off exercise.
We require all staff, including temporary agency staff and all contractors and their employees working on behalf of GENTEC to:

Act honestly and with integrity at all times and to safeguard the GENTEC’s resources for which they are responsible

This policy applies to all of the GENTEC’s activities. For partners, joint ventures and suppliers, we will seek to promote the adoption of policies consistent with this policy.

This policy covers all staff at all levels and grades, those permanently employed, temporary agency staff, contractors, non-executives, agents, members (including independent members), volunteers and consultants.

Comply with the spirit, as well as the letter, of the laws and regulations in respect of the lawful and responsible conduct of activities.

Within the Company the responsibility to control the risk of bribery occurring rests at all levels. It does not rest solely within assurance and audit functions, but in all business units and corporate functions and members exercising their Company functions.
