Anti-Corruption & Anti-Bribery Policy
1. Zero tolerance
Fortune Imports and Exports (India), operating as Fortune Sourcings, maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward bribery and corruption in any form. This applies to every director, employee, contractor, agent, sourcing associate, freight partner and third-party representative acting on our behalf, worldwide.
2. Applicable laws
We comply with the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (India), and, where applicable, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act 2010, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials, and China's Criminal Law provisions on commercial bribery. Where any jurisdiction imposes a stricter standard, that standard applies to Fortune personnel operating there.
3. Prohibited conduct
Neither Fortune personnel nor any third party acting on our behalf may, directly or indirectly, offer, promise, give, request, agree to receive or accept: (a) any bribe, kickback, illegal commission or other improper advantage; (b) any 'facilitation payment' to expedite a routine act by a government official; (c) gifts or hospitality of a value or frequency intended to improperly influence a business decision; (d) political donations made on the Company's behalf without prior written approval from the CEO.
4. Gifts, entertainment & hospitality
Modest, occasional gifts and hospitality that would not embarrass the Company if made public are acceptable. Fortune personnel must not accept cash, cash equivalents, or gifts valued above USD 100 without CEO approval. All hospitality involving a public official requires prior written approval. Every gift given or received above USD 25 in value must be logged in the Fortune OS gift register.
5. Third-party due diligence
Before engaging any vendor, freight forwarder, customs broker, agent or referral partner, Fortune personnel conduct risk-based due diligence including sanctions screening, corporate-registry check and, for higher-risk jurisdictions, a supplementary background review. Third-party contracts include representations, warranties and audit rights on anti-corruption compliance.
6. Reporting & whistleblowing
Any suspected bribery, corruption or policy violation must be reported immediately, in confidence, to whistleblower@fortunesourcings.com or directly to the CEO. Reports may be made anonymously. Retaliation against a good-faith reporter is itself a policy violation and grounds for termination.
7. Consequences
Breach of this Policy is a serious matter and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal, termination of contract, referral to law-enforcement authorities, and recovery of any resulting loss. The Company reserves the right to terminate any client or vendor engagement immediately upon discovering an anti-corruption breach.
