We are committed to applying the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity.

Bribery is defined within the Bribery Act 2010 as the giving or receiving of a financial or other advantage in exchange for improperly performing a relevant function or activity.

Under no circumstances is the giving, offering, receiving or soliciting of a bribe acceptable and we will not tolerate this in any form. This applies to all staff, volunteers and non-executives, together with any external agents working or acting on our behalf.

Our zero tolerance approach to bribery, and commitment to the Bribery Act 2010, is set out in further detail here:

NI 3D Print strictly prohibits bribery or other improper payments in any of its business operations. This prohibition applies to all business activities, anywhere in the world, whether involving government officials or other commercial enterprises. A bribe or other improper payment to secure a business advantage is never acceptable and can expose individuals and
NI 3D Print to possible criminal prosecution, reputational harm or other serious consequences. This Policy applies to everyone at NI 3D Print, including all officers, employees and agents or other intermediaries acting on NI 3D Print’s behalf. Each officer and employee of NI 3D Print
has a personal responsibility and obligation to conduct NI 3D Print’s business activities ethically and in compliance with all applicable laws based on the countries wherein NI 3D Print does business. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. Improper payments prohibited by this policy include bribes, kickbacks, excessive gifts or entertainment, or any other payment made or offered to obtain an undue business advantage. These payments should not be confused with reasonable and limited expenditures for gifts, business entertainment and other legitimate activities directly related to the conduct of NI 3D Print’s business

All staff and volunteers, non-executives and other relevant parties are responsible for familiarising themselves with the requirements surrounding this and for complying with these at all times.

Any instances of non-compliance will be dealt with firmly and, in addition to possible internal disciplinary action, it is noted that a criminal offence under the Bribery Act 2010 could lead to up to 10 years imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

With regard to external parties, we will not do business with anyone who does not support our anti-bribery commitments, and we reserve the right to terminate any contracts where there is evidence of acts of bribery have been committed.

If you are in any doubt as to whether any conduct could amount to bribery, or if you have any concerns or suspicions regarding bribery being committed, please contact us. Such a response is critical to the success of our anti-bribery measures and we will support anyone raising an issue, provided that you are acting in good faith.
