Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption

VentureTECH is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and integrity in our investment activities. We are also fully committed to comply with all laws and regulations which govern our business and operations.  

The company adopts a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of bribery and corruption. The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy sets out the guiding principles for personnel to address and manage bribery and corruption risks in all dealings and related issues that may arise in the course of business.

This policy should be read in conjunction with various policies, standard operating procedures, guidelines, and Code of Business Conduct. If multiple documents speak on the same subject, then the more stringent provision always applies.
