We Do What's Right

Countering Bribery and Corruption

We work with honesty and integrity, always. That means we never attempt to gain an unfair advantage through acts of bribery or corruption. Whatever "edge" one hopes to gain through corruption is always outweighed by the reputational, legal and financial consequences.

Roadmap for Success

  • Don't offer, promise, give or accept a bribe or kickback anywhere we do business - regardless of local laws and customs.
  • Hold business partners accountable. Choose partners who meet our high ethical standards and monitor their performance to make sure they never engage in bribery or corruption on our behalf.
  • Document relationships and transactions thoroughly and accurately.
  • Know and follow CDM Smith's guidelines and policies regarding the exchange of business courtesies.

A: No, you shouldn't. Any "fees" that may be given to ensure CDM Smith receives a benefit to which we are already entitled is more than likely a bribe. If one of our business partners offers an extra "fee" on our behalf, CDM Smith could be held responsible. The business partner acts as an extension of our business and must follow the same rules. Speak up about this activity immediately.
