Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy
We are committed to doing business in an honest, prudent and responsible manner and aim to ensure compliance with applicable anti-bribery and corruption (AB&C) laws and regulations. ING’s AB&C Policy outlines the obligations, key risks, and control objectives that are necessary to ensure that inherent and critical bribery and corruption risks are identified, assessed, managed, and monitored accordingly. 
ING has a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in all its relationships and business dealings. ING does not permit accepting or paying bribes or offering improper inducements or anything that could be perceived as such. ING expects the same from its business partners and third parties that perform services or deliver business on its behalf. Investigations into possible breaches of anti-bribery regulations are the responsibility of CSI, as we want to ensure independence, objectivity, and confidentiality. ING entities are required to report instances of bribery and/or corruption, in accordance with the Global Event Management Procedure. This includes reporting to the Management Board and chairman of the Supervisory Board. 
ING has a key risk indicator (KRI) in place to, on a monthly basis, monitor the ‘Zero tolerance to instances of bribery and/or corruption by ING employees and/or third parties’. The reporting is based on event data
