To Definitions
Bribery can be described as giving or receiving anything from any person (usually money, a gift, loan, reward, favour, commission or entertainment) as an improper inducement or reward for obtaining business, employment or any other benefit. Bribes can therefore include, but are not limited to:
gifts and excessive or inappropriate entertainment, hospitality, travel and accommodation expenses;
payments, whether by employees or business partners such as recruiters, labour service providers or consultants; and
other ‘favours’ provided to supervisors, such as making unwanted advances, payments or promises.

Offer, pay, or give anything of value to any person through which one will unethically gain something in return which is not provided for in terms of their employment contract.
Attempt to mislead or induce any person to do something illegal or which goes against the company policy.
Mislead or intentionally lie to any person to gain an advantage above and beyond their employment agreement.
