Leading the Fight Against Corruption.

We are determined to take a clear stand against bribery and corruption.  By doing so, AutoInfo Pty Ltd (Australia) and Autoi Limited (New Zealand) will protect the best interests of the industry, company, clients, suppliers, and employees.

What is Bribery?

Bribery is the offering, promising, giving, accepting, or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for action.  It is illegal and it is a breach of trust.

A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised, or provided in order to gain a commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage.

We will not tolerate Bribery.

Corruption, bribery, or attempted bribery is unacceptable.  This applies whether offering a bribe or accepting a bribe.  It is again our core values of conducting business to the highest legal, moral and ethical standards.  Bribery and corruption are covered by various legal laws and statutes.  These laws often require companies to have rigorous, pro-active measures in place to detect and prevent corrupt practices.
