The Export Credit Agency (ECA) has received a certificate of compliance with the international standard ISO 37001:2016 — the Anti-Bribery Management System standard, according to the ECA website.
In addition, it is noted that ISO 37001:2016 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for the development and operation of systemic mechanisms for preventing, detecting, and responding to bribery risks. It applies to organizations of any form of ownership and scale and covers both internal processes and interactions with contractors, partners, and intermediaries.
ISO 37001:2016 certification confirms that EKA has implemented and is effectively operating an anti-bribery management system that meets international requirements and has been independently assessed by an external certification body. The audit covered not only the existence of policies and procedures, but also their implementation, internal control, accountability, and response mechanisms.
“For international partners, financial institutions, and businesses, ISO 37001:2016 certification confirms that ECA’s activities are based on the principles of integrity, transparency, and good governance, and that its internal processes are designed in line with the best global practices in anti-corruption compliance,” the statement said.
The Export Credit Agency of Ukraine (ECA) is a state institution that supports non-commodity exports by insuring the risks of enterprises and banks. The agency insures foreign economic contracts, export credits, bank guarantees, and investment loans against military risks.
