Perold Wine Cellar Limited (the company) values its reputation for ethical behaviour and reliability. We aim to limit our company in its exposure to bribery by:

• Setting out our clear anti-bribery and corruption policy;
• Training our employees so they can recognise and avoid the use of bribery by themselves or by others;
• Encouraging our employees to be vigilant and to report and suspicion of bribery, providing them with suitable channels of communication and ensuring sensitive information is appropriately treated.
• Rigorously investigating instances of alleged bribery and assisting the police and other appropriate authorities in any resultant prosecution;
• Taking firm action against any individual(s) involved in bribery.

Policy Statement

Perold Wine Cellar Limited prohibits the offering, the giving, the solicitation or the acceptance of any bribe, whether cash or other inducement to or from any person or company, wherever they are situated and whether they are a public official or body or private person or company by any individual employee, agent or other person or body acting on Perold Wine Cellar’s behalf in order to gain any commercial, contractual or regulatory advantage for Perold Wine Cellar’s which is unethical or in order to gain any personal advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for the individual or anyone connected with the individual.

Further Clarification

Perold Wine Cellar Limited recognises that market practice varies across the territories in which it does business and what is normal and acceptable in one place may not be in another.

This policy is not meant to prohibit the normal and appropriate hospitality providing it is customary in a particular market, are proportionate and are properly recorded.

Inevitably, decisions as to what is acceptable may not always be easy. If anyone is in doubt as to whether a potential act constitutes bribery, the matter should be referred to the CEO with responsibility for this policy before proceeding.
