OUR BUSINESS PARTNERS

Bribes and Kickbacks

Bribes and kickbacks are illegal in nearly every country and not in line with our expectations for ethical behavior at Qnity. Offering, accepting, or requesting anything of value to influence a business decision or government action is strictly prohibited.

Key Points

Employees must never:

  • Offer, request, or accept bribes or kickbacks directly or through a third party.
  • Make “facilitating” payments, including tips, to government officials to expedite routine actions, such as issuing permits or completing paperwork.

Even non-cash gifts may be seen as bribes, so always exercise caution.
