In an ever-evolving business environment, upholding the highest standards of integrity is essential for long-term success and trust. We recently launched our new Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Gifts and Entertainment Policy, supported by detailed guidelines that together with our Code of Conduct, provide a comprehensive framework that reinforces our commitment to ethical conduct and transparency across all levels of our organisation.   The new policy has been carefully developed to align with both global best practices and emerging legal requirements. It provides clear guidance on recognising, preventing, and reporting bribery, corruption, and improper practices relating to gifts and entertainment. By setting clear boundaries, the policy ensures that all interactions with customers, vendors/ suppliers, partners, and public officials are conducted transparently and without undue influence.   Key aspects include an approval process for offering or accepting gifts and hospitality, mandatory disclosure of potential conflicts of interest, and procedures for reporting suspected breaches. Training and other supporting resources are being developed to empower every team member to uphold these standards confidently in their day-to-day activities.   By embedding these principles into our organisational culture, we further strengthen stakeholder trust and safeguard our reputation. Adherence to this policy is not only a legal obligation, but a reflection of our values as a responsible and forward-thinking company, ensuring our business practices remain transparent, fair, and free from bribery and corruption.   To review the policy and the supporting guidelines, please follow this [Link.](https://intranet.programmed.com.au/Support/RiskLegal/Pages/CodeConduct.aspx) ## More Recent Posts #### [![Sonder Update: Engagement & Competition Winners](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hubfs/Sonder%20wellbeing%20feature.png) *Jun 15, 2026, 1:46:28 PM | Safety & Wellbeing* Sonder Update: Engagement & Competition Winners](https://blog.programmed.com.au/the-green-light/sonder-in-action-growing-engagement-competition-winners) #### [![Security Update for Accessing Standards](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hubfs/The%20Green%20Light%20Standards%20Access.png) *Jun 10, 2026, 12:19:27 PM | Updates, Insights & Learning* Security Update for Accessing Standards](https://blog.programmed.com.au/the-green-light/security-update-for-accessing-standards) #### [![Sustainability Knowledge Hub and New Training Module](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hubfs/Greenwashing.png) *Jun 9, 2026, 6:04:07 PM | Sustainability* Sustainability Knowledge Hub and New Training Module](https://blog.programmed.com.au/the-green-light/sustainability-knowledge-hub-and-new-training-modules) [Return Home](https://blog.programmed.com.au/the-green-light) [![RGB-Endt-Horz-Rev-RGB150](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PFM%20Internal%20Comms/RGB-Endt-Horz-Rev-RGB150.png?width=500&height=178&name=RGB-Endt-Horz-Rev-RGB150.png "RGB-Endt-Horz-Rev-RGB150")](https://programmed.com.au/)   Level 32 Tower 2, 727 Collins Street, Collins Square, Melbourne, Victoria 3008 [tel:](tel:)   - Programmed Australia - [About](https://programmed.com.au/about/our-company/) - [Our Services](https://programmed.com.au/services/) - [Our Locations](https://programmed.com.au/australia/) - [Latest News](https://programmed.com.au/news-insights/) - [Search Jobs](https://www.jobs.programmed.com.au/jobs/) © Programmed.
