Facilitation Payments. Definitions Facilitation payments are payments to public officials to expedite the performance of duties of a non-discretionary nature. These payments are intended to influence only the timing of the public officials’ actions (e.g. payments to expedite visa issue or clearing goods through customs), but not their outcome. Principles and Rules Novartis prohibits facilitation payments. This applies irrespective of whether or not local law permits facilitation payments. References
Facilitation Payments. This Policy prohibits facilitation payments of any kind. A facilitation payment is a payment or gift given to a government official to cause the official to perform a routine duty or function, or to expedite such performance. Irrespective of how common such payments may be according to local custom in any relevant jurisdiction, such payments are prohibited by this Policy. Payments offered to facilitate passage through customs, or to obtain quicker service from a government official, are considered facilitation payments.
Facilitation Payments. Except in the exceptional circumstances listed below, no unlawful or otherwise improper payment or gift is to be made or offered with a view to assisting Kimber to obtain or retain business, to affect the enactment or enforcement of any laws, or otherwise to obtain favours. In some countries, public officials may expect “facilitating payments” for performing routine functions. Such payments are illegal and Kimber personnel may not make them. The only exceptions are “facilitating payments” made to expedite or secure performance by a foreign public official of any act of a routine nature that is part of that person’s duties or functions, provided that such payment may not be made to influence a decision to award new business or to continue doing business with a particular party. Examples of “facilitating payments” that may be made in exceptional circumstances are payments for:
