compliance is essential to us. This video provides an overview of legal, regulatory and

Anti-Corruption Laws apply to you
Our business is subject to US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act
(UKBA), as well as applicable local anti-corruption laws. Those laws prohibit bribery in any
form. Our company has zero tolerance to bribery. And you also should not ever request or
accept bribes or kickbacks. Please be alert to corruption red flags, especially when dealing
with public sector organizations, or while conducting business in a country with a high
corruption risk, but also in any other situation where corruption risk is present.
You are also required to maintain business records that reflect the truth of the transactions or
events. This is a necessary condition for ensuring anti-corruption compliance. Not following
the business records rules might cause liability under anti-corruption legislation.
Liability for violating anti-corruption laws may include jail time, criminal or civil fines or
penalties, suspension or debarment and other measures.
