OUR COMMITMENT TO PREVENT BRIBERY
JAM recognizes that bribery damages a companies integrity and degrades the business environment overall. The company is committed to prevent any and all forms of corruption and bribery payments .
For clarity JAM has committed to the RJC Code of Practice which stipulates that, “bribery means giving or offering (as well as demanding or receiving) any undue advantage to (or from):
• a public or government official (politically exposed persons);
• a political candidate, party or official; or
• any private sector employees, directors or officers, or their agents or representatives.
Corruption is any unlawful or improper behavior that seeks to gain a private advantage through illegitimate means. Any kind of bribery is a form of corruption; but corruption also includes abuse of power, extortion, fraud, deception, collusion, cartels, embezzlement and money laundering. Employees include both directly employed workers that have contracts with the RJC member and indirectly employed workers that regularly work at members’ sites and that have employment contracts with a third party, such as a labor agent, labor provider or contractor/subcontractor. Facilitation payments are sums of money paid to get preferential treatment for something the receiver is otherwise still required to do, for example, paying an official to speed up, or ‘facilitate’, an authorization process.”
