Anti-Bribery Policy

Policy Statement

Offset Britain Ltd is committed to conducting business ethically and in compliance with all applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the UK Bribery Act 2010. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption.

Scope

This policy applies to all employees, directors, officers, consultants, contractors, and any third parties acting on behalf of Offset Britain. It covers all business dealings and transactions in all countries where we operate.

What is Bribery?

Bribery is offering, promising, giving, accepting, or soliciting an advantage as an inducement for action which is illegal, unethical, or a breach of trust. Bribes can take many forms including:

• Cash payments or loans

• Gifts, hospitality, or entertainment

• Political or charitable donations

• Employment opportunities for associates

• Any other advantage or favour

Prohibited Activities

You must NOT:

• Offer, promise, or give a bribe to any person

• Request, agree to receive, or accept a bribe from any person

• Bribe a foreign public official to obtain or retain business

• Engage in any activity that might lead to a breach of this policy

Gifts and Hospitality

Modest gifts and hospitality are acceptable if they are reasonable, proportionate, given openly, and not intended to influence business decisions. All gifts over £50 in value must be recorded in our gifts register and approved by a director.

Record Keeping

We maintain accurate books and records of all payments made on our behalf. All expense claims must be submitted with receipts and full details of the reason for the expenditure.

Reporting Concerns

If you suspect that bribery or corruption has occurred or may occur, report it immediately to compliance@offsetbritain.co.uk or use our confidential whistleblowing procedure. No one will suffer retaliation for reporting genuine concerns in good faith.

Consequences

Breach of this policy is a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. It may also be a criminal offence leading to prosecution.
