Anti-Bribery and Corruption Statement
The Foundation for Medical Services recognises
that acts of bribery and corruption go against the concept of free and fair
competition between businesses. Furthermore, they undermine the confidence that
customers and businesses hold in the free market. To this end FMS fully
supports and adheres to all legislation, both local and at European Union
level, aimed at preventing bribery and corruption. Such support is constantly
manifested through our ongoing obligation to carry out our business in a fair,
open and transparent manner.
The Foundation for Medical Services and each of
its management, directors and employees have a zero tolerance approach towards
any form of bribery and this is reflected by the fact that:
- We are only open to negotiate and enter into
contracts with organisations and individuals that share our commitment to
bribery prevention;
- We are ready to terminate any contract with any
organisation or individual violating any of the contractual provisions relating
to bribery avoidance;
- We constantly review and adapt our policies and
procedures to ensure that these contain both bribery and corruption prevention
measures and that they guarantee the secure and confidential disclosure of acts
of bribery and corruption;
- We are ready to take disciplinary action
against any employee who actively and knowingly engages in bribery.
These commitments reflect the position of FMS
to guarantee that no act of the Foundation forms part of any act of bribery or
corruption, and our commitment towards the avoidance of such acts in the
industry which we operate in.
