1. Policy Statement
Optima PM Ltd is committed to conducting business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a
zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption and are committed to acting professionally, fairly, and
with integrity in all our business dealings. We comply with the UK Bribery Act 2010 and expect all staff,
contractors, suppliers, and partners to do the same.

2. Scope
This policy applies to: all employees, officers, and directors of Optima PM Ltd; and contractors,
consultants, agents, suppliers, and service providers acting on our behalf.

3. What is Bribery?
Bribery is offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value (such as money, gifts, hospitality, or
favours) with the intention of improperly influencing a decision or gaining a business advantage.
Examples include: offering payment to secure a contract; accepting gifts or hospitality in return for
favourable treatment; and making facilitation payments (unofficial payments to speed up routine
processes).

4. Our Rules on Gifts and Hospitality
Modest and proportionate hospitality may be acceptable (e.g., working lunches, low-value promotional
items). Any gift or hospitality must not be intended to influence a business decision. Employees must
declare all gifts or hospitality offered or received above a reasonable value threshold (e.g., £50).

5. Responsibilities
Employees must not engage in any form of bribery or corruption. Any concerns or suspected breaches
must be reported immediately. Managers are responsible for ensuring compliance within their teams.

6. Reporting Concerns
Employees, contractors, or third parties are encouraged to report concerns about bribery or corruption.
Reports can be made confidentially to info@optimapm.co.uk.

7. Breaches of This Policy

Any employee who breaches this policy will face disciplinary action, which may include dismissal.
Contractors, suppliers, or partners found to be in breach may have their contracts terminated. Serious
breaches may also lead to criminal prosecution under the UK Bribery Act 2010.

8. Training and Communication
This policy will be communicated to all employees and relevant third parties. Training will be provided
where appropriate to ensure awareness and compliance.

9. Review of Policy
This policy will be reviewed annually and updated as necessary to ensure compliance with legislation
and best practice.
