We do not tolerate any form of corruption

Our shared responsibility

We do not tolerate corruption in any of our business activities, anywhere in the world. This includes actions taken through third parties or business partners.

We win business based on the quality of our solutions — not through improper payments, favors, or benefits.

Why it matters

Corruption harms fair competition and weakens trust. It can lead to fines, criminal penalties for the company and individuals, and serious damage to our reputation. Even one improper payment can cause lasting damage. We protect Omterra by acting honestly and following the law.

How we energize with integrity

We reject all forms of corruption by:

  • Not offering, promising, or giving anything of value to improperly influence a decision.
  • Not requesting or receiving bribes, kickbacks, or improper payments.
  • Not giving or receiving excessive gifts, entertainment, travel expenses, donations, sponsorships, or memberships.
  • Refusing to make facilitation payments.
  • Ensuring payments are transparent and properly recorded.

Spark your understanding

Corruption:
Dishonest behavior used to gain an unfair advantage. It can include bribery, fraud, embezzlement, favoritism, or nepotism.

Money, gifts, or anything of value offered, promised, given, or accepted to influence a decision or gain an unfair advantage.

Anyone who works for or represents a governmental, legislative, or judicial body; a state-owned or state-controlled company; a public international organization; or a political party. This also includes candidates for public office and other people treated as public officials under the law.
A benefit that is not lawful or obtained fairly, such as providing special treatment to one bidder over another when awarding a contract.
A payment or other benefit given to improperly expedite a routine government action. Omterra prohibits these payments, even in places where they might be common practice.

Make it current
