Corruption in the Workplace
Engaging in or supporting corrupt activity can damage MPC’s reputation and result in millions of dollars in fines for the company and potential jail time for individuals. The worldwide impact of corruption on business is staggering, with an estimated annual cost in the trillions of dollars.
MPC’s Anticorruption Policy prohibits the offering, promising, giving, soliciting or receiving of bribes to or from any third party, directly or indirectly, regardless of whether the other party is a private individual, commercial counterparty, or government official. Remember, a bribe includes anything to which the recipient would attach value, so even a small item given in order to obtain an improper advantage can be viewed as a bribe. In this video, you will see an example of just one of the many forms that bribery can take.
We’re all responsible for fighting corruption in the workplace and protecting MPC’s reputation. Remember to always act with Integrity and immediately report any questionable conduct or requests that violate the Anticorruption Policy.
