Speeki’s ISO 37001 compliance checklist: How to build a successful anti-bribery management system

More and more companies are getting certified against ISO 37001

Bribery is a global problem that affects companies, governments, and everyday people who are trying to make an honest living.

In the last 15 years, enforcement agencies have cracked down on bribery and corruption violations by organisations, leading to massive fines and even prison time for liable individuals.

As a result, more and more companies are getting certified against ISO 37001 by building an anti-bribery management system.

In 2022, there were 5,969 valid ISO 37001 certificates covering 12,837 sites. This is a massive jump from 2021,when there were just 2,896 valid certificates covering about 8,000 sites.

ISO 37001 is one of the top ten most certified standards under ISO and the only standard to experience over100% growth between 2020, 2021 and 2022.
