Our Policy

Bribery is defined as offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting anything of value to influence a business decision improperly. This includes cash payments, gifts, hospitality, or any other advantage.

H5 Construction Services strictly prohibits:

• Offering or giving bribes to secure or retain business or gain any unfair advantage
• Accepting bribes, kickbacks, or improper payments from any third party
• Making facilitation payments, even where such practices may be considered customary
• Engaging in any form of corrupt business practice, directly or indirectly through third parties

Gifts and Hospitality

Reasonable and proportionate hospitality may be accepted or offered where it is transparent, appropriate, and does not influence or appear to influence business decisions. All such activities must comply with internal controls and approval processes.

Responsibilities

All employees, directors, subcontractors, and those acting on behalf of H5 Construction Services are required to:

• Act with integrity in all business dealings
• Comply with this policy and applicable laws
• Avoid situations that could lead to, or be perceived as, bribery or corruption
• Report any concerns or suspected breaches immediately
• Management is responsible for implementing this policy, ensuring adequate training, and maintaining effective systems and controls to prevent bribery.

Reporting and Whistleblowing

H5 Construction Services encourages a culture of openness and accountability. Any individual who suspects bribery or corruption is expected to report it. Reports will be handled confidentially, and no one will suffer retaliation for raising genuine concerns in good faith.

Monitoring and Review

We will regularly review and update this policy to ensure its effectiveness and relevance. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action, termination of contracts, and potential legal consequences.

H5 Construction Services is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and maintaining trust with our clients, partners, and stakeholders by conducting business free from bribery and corruption.
