Zenitech considers that bribery and corruption has a detrimental impact on business by undermining good governance and distorting free markets.

Transparent, fair conduct helps to foster deeper relationships of trust between Zenitech and its business partners and customers. It is vital for the company’s reputation and future growth.

Zenitech does not tolerate any form of bribery, whether direct or indirect, by, or of, its employees, or consultants or any persons or companies acting for it or on its behalf. The board and senior management are committed to implementing and enforcing effective systems throughout the company to prevent, monitor and eliminate bribery, in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010.

Zenitech provides an anti-bribery policy outlining the company’s position on preventing and prohibiting bribery. The anti-bribery policy applies to all employees, as well as agency workers, consultants and contractors both in the UK and overseas. All employees and other individuals acting for the company are required to familiarise themselves and comply with Zenitech’s anti-bribery policy.

A bribe is a financial advantage or other reward that is offered to, given to, or received by an individual or company (whether directly or indirectly) to induce or influence that individual or company to perform public or corporate functions or duties improperly.

Employees and others acting for or on behalf of the company are strictly prohibited from making, soliciting or receiving any bribes or unauthorised payments.

As part of its anti-bribery measures, the company is committed to transparent, proportionate, reasonable and bona fide hospitality and promotional expenditure. Such expenditure must be authorised in advance, in accordance with the procedures set out in the company’s anti-bribery policy.

A breach of the company’s anti-bribery policy by an employee will be treated as grounds for disciplinary action, which may result in a finding of gross misconduct, and immediate dismissal. Employees and other individuals acting for the company should note that bribery is a criminal offence that may result in up to 10 years’ imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine for the individual and an unlimited fine for the company.

Zenitech will not conduct business with service providers, agents or representatives that do not support the company’s anti-bribery objectives. The company reserves the right to terminate its contractual arrangements with any third parties acting for, or on behalf of, the company with immediate effect where there is evidence that they have committed acts of bribery.

The success of Zenitech’s anti-bribery measures depends on all employees, and those acting for the company, playing their part in helping to detect and eradicate bribery. Therefore, all employees and others acting for, or on behalf of, the company are encouraged to report any suspected bribery in accordance with the procedures set out in the anti-bribery policy. The company will support any individuals who make such a report, provided that it is made in good faith.
