ISO 37001 — Anti-Bribery Management

A management-system standard designed to help organizations prevent, detect, and address bribery risk across their operations.

What It Is

A system for managing bribery risk

ISO 37001 specifies requirements for an Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) — covering policies, procedures, controls, training, and reporting mechanisms designed to reduce bribery risk, including by employees, agents, and business partners.

It doesn't guarantee bribery will never occur, but demonstrates reasonable, proportionate measures were in place to prevent it.
