Corruption and Bribery Overseas/At Home

Shop4Life believes in our corporate responsibility of honest and transparent trading. Our aim is, and will always be, to maintain the highest standards of business integrity.

As a Christian Company we would never knowingly act, in any way, to accept a bribe or participate in any corruption business practise.

Shop4Life has a Gifts from Clients/Suppliers Policy to ensure that all of our employees are fully informed of their legal obligation to never accept any bribe, or participate in any corruption practise, as it is a crime under United Kingdom (UK) law.

UK law makes it illegal to bribe foreign public or private officials, or office-holders. Any UK national, or company, can be prosecuted in the UK for this crime - even if no part of the offence took place in the UK.

Our Gifts from Clients/Suppliers Policy clearly states for these purposes a "gift" is any payment or item given to an employee on an apparently ex-gratia basis by any party who is the Company's actual or potential client, customer or supplier. If you receive a gift, you must report this to your line manager as soon as it is given to you. If you fail to do so, this constitutes a disciplinary offence and will be dealt with in accordance with the Company's disciplinary procedure and could render the employee liable to summary dismissal... and more.

Psalm 15:2 - "The one who walks with integrity, does what is righteous, and speaks the truth within his heart".

"Lead by example and show others you care"
