About the standard
ISO 37001:2025 specifies requirements and guidance for implementing, maintaining, reviewing, and improving an Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS), helping organizations of any size or sector prevent, detect, and respond to bribery while meeting anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments. The 2025 update strengthens governance requirements, expands due diligence provisions, and improves whistleblower protections. It focuses specifically on bribery risk and does not cover other forms of corruption such as fraud or money laundering.
