可口可乐完整版反贿赂政策：禁止疏通费、礼品卡！首次在反贿赂政策中提及SEC certification
来源：The FCPA Blog
The Coca-Cola Company, incorporated in 1892, is one of the world’s oldest, most well-known, and widely consumed brands. How does it’s anti-bribery policy compare?
1. It takes daily effort.
It is therefore vital that you not only understand and appreciate the importance of this Policy, but also comply with it in your daily work.
2. Don’t pay bribes, or you might end up in jail.
Company employees that violate these laws can also face severe civil and criminal penalties, including jail time.
3. No facilitating payments (except sometimes).
The Company’s prohibition on bribery applies to all improper payments regardless of size or purpose, including “facilitating” (or expediting) payments. Facilitating payments refer to small payments to government officials to expedite or facilitate non-discretionary actions or services, such as obtaining an ordinary license or business permit, processing government papers such as visas, customs clearance, providing telephone, power or water service, or loading or unloading of cargo. Generally, facilitation payments are prohibited by this Policy, except for a very limited set of circumstances for which prior written approval must be obtained from both Company Legal Counsel and E&C.
This is similar to Tesla. In contrast, Apple, Novartis, Microsoft, Volkswagen, and Airbus ban all facilitating payments. Walmart doesn’t mention facilitating payments at all.
4. Never give a public official a gift card.
It is never permissible to provide gifts, meals, travel, or entertainment to anyone (government officials or commercial partners) in exchange for any improper favor or benefit. In addition, gifts of cash or cash equivalents, such as gift cards, are never permissible.
5. Some employees must certify compliance.
Every quarter, in conjunction with the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Certification process, applicable employees are required to certify the accuracy of several representations related to this Policy.
This is the first time we’ve seen SEC certification mentioned in an anti-bribery compliance policy.
1. 需要每天努力。
因此，至关重要的是您不仅要理解和理解本政策的重要性，而且还要在日常工作中遵守它。
2. 不要行贿，否则你可能会入狱。
违反这些法律的公司员工也可能面临严厉的民事和刑事处罚，包括入狱。
3. 无疏通费（有时除外）。
公司对贿赂的禁令适用于所有不正当支付，无论金额大小或目的如何，包括“疏通”（或加速）支付。疏通费是指向政府官员支付小额款项，以加快或促进非自由裁量的行动或服务，例如获得普通执照或营业许可证、处理签证、清关等政府文件、提供电话、电力或供水服务或装载或卸货。通常，本政策禁止支付疏通费，但必须事先获得公司法律顾问和 E&C 双方书面批准的极少数情况除外。
这类似于 特斯拉。相比之下，苹果、诺华、 微软、 大众和空中客车 禁止所有疏通费。沃尔玛根本没有提到便利付款。
4. 切勿向公职人员赠送礼品卡。
绝不允许向任何人（政府官员或商业伙伴）提供礼品、餐饮、旅行或款待以换取任何不正当的恩惠或利益。此外，绝不允许以现金或现金等价物作为礼物，例如礼品卡。
5. 一些员工必须证明合规。
每个季度，连同公司的证券交易委员会 (“SEC”) 认证流程，适用的员工必须证明与本政策相关的若干陈述的准确性。
这是我们第一次看到反贿赂合规政策中提到的 SEC 认证。
