The strategy sets out a range of government work to reduce the involvement of UK nationals and companies in foreign bribery.


The Foreign bribery strategy builds on the government's anti-corruption work over the past three years and aims to help the UK strengthen its reputation as one of the least corrupt countries in the world.

The strategy aims to:

  • strengthen the law
  • encourage and support ethical business
  • enforce the law against foreign bribery
  • reduce the demand for bribes through international cooperation and capacity building.
