As a CSR analyst, I’ve seen a number of Code of Ethics and anti-corruption policies in the last year that outline the UK Bribery Act to employees. In many ways this can be seen as the first step in a company’s due diligence procedures required by the legislation. It’s also a demonstration that it’s working.
