As part of Kimia Farma Group, PT Kimia Farma Trading & Distribution (KFTD) has received ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management System (or SMAP—Sistem Manajemen Anti Penyuapan) Certification. This has been KFTD’s great support system to prevent fraudulent acts or gratification.
It is nothing new that gratification is the root of bribery and corruption. With this certification, how does KFTD prevent bribery and corruption in the company?
About ABMS/SMAP in KFTD and Its Effectiveness in Preventing Bribery and Corruption
In March 2023, KFTD held a Kick-off Implementation for an Anti-Bribery Management System based on ISO 37001:2016. This system was published by ISO (International Standardization Organization), an international institution operating in the field of standardization of industrial and commercial management systems.
In Indonesia, the implementation of ISO 37001:2016 is handed over to the National Standardization Agency. Let’s see how effective ABMS/SMAP is in preventing bribery and corruption in the company.
The effectiveness of the ISO 37001:2016 implementation comes from the regular monitoring and internal auditing KFTD performs. This is part of their commitment to prevent bribery and corruption in the company. Internal auditing is done using PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action).
The ISO 37001:2016 standard helps to increase the company’s credibility, as it complies with government regulations and implements anti-bribery policies in all its business activities.
It also increases the confidence of all staff, from management to employees. This means KFTD has implemented good corporate governance processes and is carrying out anti-bribery control efforts.
This system also helps to build pride in KFTD management and the whole staff. Their business reputation is internationally recognized for their long-term commitment to preventing bribery and corruption. Last but not least, this helps to develop their business in the long run.
