Principles

We do not tolerate bribery and corruption in any form.
We never offer, give or accept anything of value that is, or could be seen as, improperly influencing business decisions.
We only appoint partners of known integrity and require that their conduct meets our standards at all times.

We will

Not give or receive bribes, and will report to the Ethics and Compliance team if we are asked for, or offered, bribes or facilitation payments;
Only offer, or accept, gifts or hospitality allowed within policy; and
Consult our Ethics and Compliance team about any business partners that we engage with to make sure that we are conducting the appropriate due diligence on the partner.

What happens when…

I get on very well with an external business contact. Can I take them out for a meal after a meeting?

You may be able to have the meal if that is appropriate – for example, you are continuing your business discussion. But it is important that it should not be viewed as inappropriately influencing them. The Gifts and Hospitality Policy has details of the financial limits and when you need to get approval, as well as more general guidance on when it may not be appropriate to give or receive gifts or hospitality.

We need to use an intermediary to run an important negotiation, and I have someone lined up, but there’s no time to get approvals. The deal is the important thing, isn’t it?

No. You cannot use an intermediary that is not approved through the Rolls‑Royce due diligence process. Don’t start to negotiate without a valid, approved contract in place, and ensure the person you had in mind does not act on behalf of Rolls‑Royce. Contact your Sector Ethics and Compliance Officer for help.
