Under this Policy, it does not matter whether an act of bribery or corruption within the business takes place in the UK or abroad. Under the Bribery Act 2010, any act of bribery or corruption committed outside of the UK may be prosecuted in the UK. It is worth noting that, if a business has a trading presence in the USA, any acts of bribery or corruption may also be prosecuted in the USA under similar bribery and corruption legislation (ie the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977).
