ISO 37001 certification in London at a glance
London's finance, shipping and professional services sit in a world of agents, intermediaries and cross-border deals, which is exactly where bribery risk lives. ISO 37001 gives firms a documented anti-bribery system that boards, banks and counterparties can recognise. ISO 37001 is the anti-bribery management system standard: risk assessment, due diligence, financial and commercial controls, training, reporting channels and leadership commitment. Sterling prepares the system from its London office, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included; the certificate comes from an accredited certification body, and national rules sit on the UK page. National law, regulators and accreditation detail sit on the United Kingdom page rather than here.

ISO 37001 in London: questions clients ask
Why does ISO 37001 interest London service firms?
Because they work through intermediaries and across borders, where bribery risk is greatest. A structured system covering risk assessment, due diligence and reporting helps show clients and counterparties that the risk is managed. The legal duties come from national law, set out on the UK page.
Who certifies ISO 37001 for a London business?
An accredited certification body issues the certificate once it has audited the system. Sterling supports preparation of the policy, risk assessment and controls. Choose a body whose accreditation covers anti-bribery management systems, and confirm your legal obligations with your counsel.
