- groby_b 9y agoAny large company has an ethics code. Bribing government employees is usually a rather big no-no in that code.
- 794CD01 9y agoAny large company also makes allowances for differences in local laws and customs when applying their ethics code.
- groby_b 9y agoYeah... no. (The FCA[4] makes that fairly hard) Amazon: "Employees may not bribe anyone for any reason, whether in dealings with governments or the private sector. " [3] Apple: "Apple does not offer or accept bribes or kickbacks in any form, and we do not tolerate corruption in connection with any of our business dealings." [2] Google: "The rule for us at Google is simple – don’t bribe anybody, anytime, for any reason."[1] [1] https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html [2] http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AAPL/0x0x803576/DAFD8C11-517A-4050-B8F5-706F089320A1/AC_Policy_Jan2015.pdf http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AAPL/0x0x803576/DAFD8...
