Corporate Standards of Business Conduct (Apparel Manufacturer)

Kontext:
The anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) broadly prohibit giving a foreign-official anything of value, tangible or intangible, for the purposes of influencing any act or decision, inducing the foreign official to act or refrain from carrying out any lawful duty, or securing any improper advantage in order to obtain, retain or direct business to any person. "Foreign officials" include officials of foreign governments (even those that perform ministerial or clerical functions), foreign political parties, public international organizations, candidates for a foreign office, and officials of government-owned corporations. Even if the payment does not go directly to a foreign official, it is a violation of the FCPA to make a payment to a private party if one knows, believes, or is aware that the private party intends to turn over all or a portion of that payment to a foreign official.
