Paying a Bribe Clause Samples

Paying a Bribe. As noted above, this Policy prohibits all Group Companies' employees from paying bribes, not just to government officials, but also to representatives of private customers, suppliers, and other counter-parties. More is at issue than simply ensuring that corporate resources are not wasted or spent excessively. Employees are prohibited from offering or providing a benefit that is lavish or otherwise inappropriate to someone, such that it is intended to, or is reasonably likely to be perceived as intended to, cause the recipient to act improperly, as this Policy describes above.
