This Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC) Policy outlines EPIC's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct. It establishes guidelines and expectations for all employees, contractors, and partners to prevent, detect, and respond to bribery and corruption in any form.
EPIC maintains a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. We are committed to acting professionally, fairly, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, wherever we operate. We will uphold all applicable laws related to anti-bribery and corruption, including but not limited to the Egyptian Anti-Corruption Laws, UK Bribery Act 2010, and US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), in every jurisdiction in which we operate.
Offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value as an inducement to act dishonestly, illegally, or in breach of trust in the conduct of business.
The abuse of entrusted power for private gain — includes bribery, fraud, embezzlement, and extortion.
Unofficial payments made to expedite or secure a routine governmental action (e.g., processing permits or licenses). These are prohibited under this policy.
Modest and reasonable gifts or hospitality may be offered or accepted in the ordinary course of business, provided they are not intended to influence business decisions. All gifts and hospitality exceeding a value of EGP 5,000 must be pre-approved by the Compliance Officer and recorded in EPIC's Gift Register. Cash or cash-equivalent gifts are strictly prohibited.
All third-party partners, suppliers, and intermediaries must undergo appropriate due diligence before engagement. EPIC requires all third parties to comply with this ABC Policy or demonstrate equivalent anti-corruption standards. Contracts must include anti-corruption clauses and the right to audit compliance.
EPIC maintains accurate and complete records of all financial transactions, including gifts, hospitality, and donations. All accounts, invoices, and documents must truly and fairly reflect the transactions they relate to. Off-the-books accounts or inadequately identified transactions are strictly prohibited.
Employees who suspect any form of bribery or corruption must report it immediately. Reports can be made to the direct line manager, the Compliance Officer, or through EPIC's confidential whistleblowing channel at projects@epic-idea.com. EPIC guarantees protection from retaliation for anyone who reports in good faith.
This policy is subject to annual review and may be updated more frequently if required. EPIC's leadership team is responsible for monitoring implementation and ensuring ongoing compliance. Training on this policy is mandatory for all employees upon onboarding and annually thereafter.
