Anti bribery and anti corruption

 

It is our policy to comply with all laws, rules and regulations governing bribery and corruption in all the countries in which we operate.

 

A bribe is defined as something of value given or received in exchange for an unfair advantage. Bribery can take many forms. We do not take part in bribery in any form. This includes bribes paid or received by business partners on our behalf. 

 

CPG will deal with any instance of suspected bribery or corruption seriously. Any actual instance will result in disciplinary action against those involved, up to and including termination of employment or contract, and reporting of those persons to relevant regulatory and criminal authorities. CPG will support those authorities in any prosecution brought against those persons. CPG operates a zero tolerance policy toward bribery and corruption. 

 

All payments made by the business must be warranted, transparent and proper. No payments may be made as a subterfuge for bribery. 

 

It is contrary to this code to offer, promise, authorize, pay or give, either directly or indirectly, to any other person (whether a government official or not) any financial or other advantage in order to secure an improper advantage, to obtain or retain business, or direct business to any other person or entity. 

 

CPG only accepts or provides hospitality and gifts within pre-defined low value limits and never to secure any improper advantage or to influence a business decision. 

 

Hospitality, gifts or expenses which has ‘strings attached’ must be declined. High value corporate hospitality should be politely declined. 

 

Under no circumstances may gifts, hospitality or entertainment be offered to or accepted from any person with whom we are in a competitive tender scenario.

 

Any suspicion on misconduct shall be reported to executive directors and appropriate measures taken.
