At Braier Group, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of integrity, honesty and accountability. We operate a strict zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in all forms.
This policy sets out our commitment to complying fully with the UK Bribery Act 2010 and outlines the steps we take to prevent bribery and unethical conduct in our operations and relationships.
Our Commitment
Braier Group will never:
- Offer, give or receive bribes or improper payments
- Use gifts, hospitality or other personal benefits to influence business decisions
- Tolerate facilitation payments or “unofficial” payments
- Work with any third party who does not share our stance on bribery prevention
We expect all our employees, contractors, suppliers, partners and any third party working on our behalf to uphold these principles.
Gifts and Hospitality
We recognise that occasional and proportionate gifts or hospitality can play a role in building relationships. However, these must:
- Be of modest value
- Never be intended to secure unfair advantage
- Be recorded and approved in line with our internal procedures
Any offer or acceptance of gifts or hospitality above £50 must be authorised by senior management.
Working with Others
Before engaging with suppliers or other partners, we carry out proportionate due diligence to ensure their values align with ours. We include anti-bribery clauses in our agreements where relevant.
Reporting Concerns
We encourage anyone connected to Braier Group – whether internally or externally – to raise concerns if they suspect unethical behaviour or bribery. Reports can be made confidentially by contacting our leadership team directly at ethics@braier-group.com.
We will never penalise anyone for reporting genuine concerns in good faith.
Training and Awareness
All employees receive guidance on recognising and avoiding bribery risks. We review this policy regularly and ensure it reflects current legal and ethical expectations.
