· bribery in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors;
· bribery by the organization;
· bribery by the organization's personnel acting on the organization's behalf or for its benefit;

· direct and indirect bribery (e.g. a bribe offered or accepted through or by a third party).
ISO 37001:2016 is applicable only to bribery. It sets out requirements and provides guidance for a management system designed to help an organization to prevent, detect and respond to bribery and comply with anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments applicable to its activities.
