ANTI CORRUPTION EFFORTS & POLICIES

ANTI CORRUPTION EFFORTS & POLICIES

The V2X values of integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism are the foundation for the way V2X conducts business. In line with the vision and values, corruption is never permitted nad all employees and partners are expected to adhere to all applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, which include the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, and similar laws in the countries where we operate.  Specifically, employees and partners must not:

  • Directly or indirectly offer, authorize, promise or give bribes, kickbacks, payoffs, or other payments to any U.S. or non U.S. government officials to influence their judgement or ensure a particular outcome or action
  • Directly or indirectly offer, authorize, promise or give bribes, kickbacks, payoffs or other payments to commercial (non-government) customers in order to obtain or retain business; or an advantage in the conduct of business
  • Directly or indirectly request, agree to receive or accept kickbacks, payoffs or other personal payments in connection with V2X business

These mandates are true under all circumstances, even if making such payments is customary under local practices.  Employees and partners must also avoid any actions that may create even the appearance of improperly influencing a government official or commercial customer. Any exceptions to this policy must be in writing and approved by the V2X Chief Legal Officer.

This policy is applicable to all employees, vendors, subcontractors, and business partners of V2X and all V2X programs, projects and affiliated operations worldwide.  For more information, please read:

THE LEGAL STANDARD

The UK Bribery Act prohibits a company’s employees as well as its third parties from bribery of Foreign Officials, Commercial Bribery, and failing to prevent bribery.
