Your ISO 37001 certification for the fight against corruption
The sensitivity to corruption and bribery in politics, administration and economic activities is increasing steadily, so it is all the more important for organizations to position themselves well in global anti-corruption activities.
ISO 37001 offers an anti-corruption management system (ACMS), recognising corruption wherever it occurs and actively working against it.
With certification according to ISO 37001, companies actively contribute to this and visibly focus on the central compliance issue, placing the spotlight on this vital aspect of compliance.

Climate Change Considerations to Management System Standards
On 22 February 2022, the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) IAF published a joint communiqué to highlight the addition of climate change considerations to a number of existing ISO management system standards (MSS).
Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 of the MSS are affected. This is to ensure that climate change issues are considered by the organization in the context of the effectiveness of the management system in addition to all other aspects.

FAQs on ISO 37001
This internationally recognised standard contains the requirements for development, implementation and maintenance and improvement of an anti-corruption management system.
The measures address global anti-corruption guidelines and fulfil legal requirements. The standard is concerned with both bribery by the organization itself and its personnel or business partners, and corruption … in other words, acceptance of bribes.
As ISO 37001 follows a risk-based approach, the risks of corruption have to be analysed and assessed regularly. The aim of the standard, among other things, is to establish a culture of integrity, transparency and openness.
Certification according to ISO 37001 is suitable for all organizations, regardless of size, sector or type.
