Governance Metrics : Basic Module
Shel
In the basic module, information on a company’s business conduct is covered in B11.
The company should disclose the number of convictions, and the total amount of fines incurred for the violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, in case any of these happened in the reporting period.
Convictions for the violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws refer to any verdict of a criminal court against an individual or company in respect of a criminal offence related to corruption and bribery, for example where these court decisions are entered in the criminal record of the convicting EU member state.
Fines issued for the violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws refer to mandatory monetary penalties resulting from violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws imposed by a court, commission or other government authority, which are paid to a public treasury.
