ISO 37001

The ISO 37001 standard introduces requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving the anti-corruption management system. This standard is intended for all types of organizations from any sector and for any type of bribery they may face. In addition, it can be applied as a stand-alone standard, or integrated with other management systems.
