Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy

Introduction

At Merker Group, we are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical behavior. We strictly prohibit any form of bribery or corruption in all our operations, in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations including the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Our Commitment

We recognize that bribery and corruption undermine fair business practices and can damage the trust of our clients, partners, and stakeholders. Our policy is designed to prevent, detect, and address any such activities within our company and throughout our supply chain.

Key Principles

We maintain a policy of zero tolerance for bribery, kickbacks, or facilitation payments in any form, whether direct or indirect. Compliance with anti-corruption laws is mandatory for all employees, contractors, and partners across the jurisdictions in which we operate. We emphasize transparency by keeping clear and accurate records of all transactions to ensure accountability. Through training and awareness, we equip our staff with the knowledge needed to understand their responsibilities and uphold ethical conduct. Lastly, we support reporting mechanisms that allow employees and stakeholders to report any suspected bribery or corruption through confidential and secure channels, without fear of retaliation.

Scope

This policy applies to all employees, officers, consultants, and third-party partners engaged by Merker Group worldwide.

Enforcement and Consequences

Violations of this policy will result in strict disciplinary action, including termination of employment or contract, and may lead to legal prosecution.
