Impact has a zero tolerance policy towards the giving and receipt of bribes, and of bribery and corruption in any form. Impact aspires to operate to best practice standards, and complies with all relevant laws in all the jurisdictions in which it operates, including the requirements of the Bribery Act (UK), Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act (US) and OECD guidelines.
Any suggestion of corruption or of any official investigation may damage the reputation of Impact, its officers and employees and affect its ability to do business. Impact is committed to doing business ethically, even if this limits its ability to gain new business, prevents the use of the services of particular agents or business partners or results in delays in carrying on existing business.
