30 BlackBerry Code of Business Standards and Principles Contents
BlackBerry is required by relevant anticorruption laws
to maintain accurate books and records, as well as
a system of internal controls designed to detect and
prevent improper payments.
For more detailed information about BlackBerry’s
policy regarding anticorruption compliance, please
refer to the Prevention of Improper Payments Policy.
TREATING OUR CUSTOMERS AND BUSINESS
PARTNERS WITH INTEGRITY
BlackBerry competes in the marketplace through the
quality of our products, the skills of our people and our
ability to provide goods and services at competitive
prices. You must comply with all applicable
anticorruption laws. You may never make, promise,
oer, fund or authorize a bribe, kickback, facilitation
payment or other improper payment in connection
with BlackBerry’s business with a public ocial,
government entity or any other third-party.
A “public ocial” is interpreted broadly and includes
anyone serving in or employed by a national, state,
provincial or local government body or agency, such
as elected ocials, appointed ocials and civil
servants—for more information, and examples, refer
to the Prevention of Improper Payments Policy.
Our retention and use of third parties who represent
us or perform services on our behalf creates
significant anticorruption risk, especially where
interactions involve public ocials. You must seek
guidance and obtain written approval from the
Integrity & Compliance Oce before retaining or
hiring a third-party to represent BlackBerry before
any government or to distribute or sell BlackBerry
products or services.
