What is ISO 37001?

ISO 37001 is the international standard for Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization, it provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to prevent, detect, and respond to bribery.

The standard applies to organizations of all sizes, sectors, and regions - from small businesses to multinational corporations, public sector entities, and non-profit organizations. It addresses both direct and indirect bribery in public, private, and not-for-profit contexts.

Scope & Coverage

ISO 37001 covers bribery by the organization, its personnel, and business associates. It addresses risks from both giving and receiving bribes, including gifts, hospitality, and other inducements.

Key Components

The standard requires anti-bribery policies, risk assessments, due diligence procedures, financial controls, training programs, and whistleblowing mechanisms.

ISO 37001:2025 Update

The 2025 edition introduces strengthened governance requirements, expanded due diligence provisions, improved whistleblower protections, and climate change considerations.

Global Impact

It's estimated that over $1.5 trillion in bribes are exchanged annually worldwide. ISO 37001 provides organizations with a systematic approach to combat this critical issue.
