Review of BAE calls for tougher anti-bribery measures
06-05-2008
A review of BAE Systems has called for tougher anti-bribery measures.
The study, carried out by former Lord Chief Justice of England Lord Woolf, set out 23 recommendations for the defence firm.
The report produced a "route map" to ensure BAE ethical standards were improved, Lord Woolf claimed.
The review into the company was launched after accusations that BAE made payments of millions of pounds to win an arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
Lord Woolf also said the UK government "could and should do more to promote high standards of ethical business conduct and help protect the global reputation of all British businesses".
