Overview of ISO 37001:2016 Certification

The ISO 37001:2016 Certification outlines the requirements and guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing, and improving an Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS). This system can function independently or be integrated into a broader management system. The standard is focused solely on bribery prevention—helping organisations detect, prevent, and respond to bribery-related incidents with structured compliance measures and guidance. It does not cover fraud, cartels, money laundering, or other forms of corruption, though organisations may choose to extend their ABMS to address these issues. Its flexible, generic structure allows adoption by any organisation—public, private, or non-profit—regardless of size, structure, or sector.

Scope of ISO 37001:2016 Certification

This certification applies to: -bribery in public, private, and non-profit sectors; -bribery by or of the organisation; -bribery by staff or representatives acting for the organisation; -bribery involving business associates; -bribery in organisational activities; -and both direct and indirect bribery (including third-party involvement).
