Anti-Fraud, Bribery & Corruption Policy
You must not offer, pay, make, seek, or accept a personal payment, gift, or favour in return for favourable treatment or to gain a business advantage. You must not allow anyone else to do so on your behalf. You must not make facilitation payments. If a facilitation payment has been requested or made, you must immediately report it to your line manager and the GVE’s Ethics and Compliance Officer or the GVE’s Legal team.
