Anti-bribery and corruption policy

Purpose of the Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy:

Zebra People is committed to conducting business with integrity and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. This includes a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery and corruption. Zebra People will not offer, promise, give, request, or accept any bribe, whether cash or non-cash, to or from any person or organization, including government officials, customers, suppliers, or any other third party.

Scope of the Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy:

All individuals working for Zebra People or on our behalf in any capacity, including all levels of employees, directors, officers, agency employees, seconded employees, volunteers, interns, agents, contractors, external consultants, third-party representatives, and business partners, are subject to the terms of this policy.

The Head of People of Zebra People is the owner of this document and is responsible for keeping it up to date.

Implementing this policy, overseeing its application and efficacy, responding to enquiries about it, and reviewing internal control systems and processes to make sure they are effective in preventing bribery and corruption are all tasks that fall under the responsibility of the Finance and Business Operations Manager.

Bribery and other illegal payments are categorically forbidden by Zebra People in all of its business dealings. This restriction applies to all business dealings, whether they include public servants or other commercial companies, anywhere in the world.

A bribe or other inappropriate payment to gain a competitive advantage is never acceptable and may subject the offender(s) and/or Zebra People to legal action, reputational damage, or other severe repercussions. Everyone at Zebra People, including all officials, employees, and agents or other intermediaries acting on Zebra People’s behalf, is subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy.

Each employee of Zebra People has a personal duty to conduct the organisation’s operations morally and in accordance with all laws based on the nations in which Zebra People conducts business. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

Bribes, inducements, excessive gifts or entertainment, as well as any other contributions made or proposed to achieve an unfair commercial advantage, are improper payments that are forbidden by this policy. These payments shouldn’t be mixed up with reasonable and constrained outlays for gifts, business entertainment, or other legal activities directly related to the operation of Zebra People’s business.

The Bribery Act of 2010 and other anti-bribery legislation make it illegal to bribe a foreign official in order to obtain an “improper business advantage.” Unlawful business advantages can include attempts to win or keep customers, such as when a government contract is awarded, but they can also include regulatory activities like licensing or approvals.
