or hope that a business advantage will be received, or to reward a business
advantage already given;
- Give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality to a client, agent or
representative to "facilitate" or expedite a routine procedure;

- Threaten or retaliate against another worker who has refused to commit a
bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy; or
