Anti-Bribery Statement of Ethics – Bribery Act 2010

Nero Blanco are End-to-End IT migration specialists, whose technology approach helps businesses succeed. We pride ourselves on our reputation for acting fairly and ethically wherever we do business. Our reputation is built on our values as a company, the values of our employees and our collective commitment to acting with integrity throughout our organisation.

Nero Blanco condemns corruption in all its forms and we will not tolerate it in our business or in those we do business with. From the confines of our working environments, it is sometimes difficult to grasp the scale of the damage that bribery does to societies. It is not a victimless crime; far from it:

“Corruption … undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows organised crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all countries – big and small, rich and poor…corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a government’s ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging foreign aid and investment. Corruption is a key element in economic under-performance and a major obstacle to poverty alleviation and development.”

(Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General)

Our internal Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy supports this approach, and all staff will be responsible for familiarizing themselves with our stance on this. We reserve the right to terminate any contract where evidence has been found of acts of bribery. Offences under the Bribery Act 2010 can lead to fines or up to 10 years in prison for individuals.

We are committed to eradicating corruption and we will stand by you in acting ethically.
