B-EN-G Group Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy
The B-EN-G Group believes that conducting business fairly and ethically is the foundation of sustainable growth. In light of the recent growing global awareness of bribery and the importance of preventing corruption more broadly, we have formulated this policy to comply with domestic and international anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations and to eliminate all forms of corrupt practices.
