Understanding Bribery and Corruption Risks

Bribery and corruption occur when individuals offer, give, receive, or solicit benefits to improperly influence decisions or actions. These practices distort markets, erode integrity, and create uncertainty in business dealings.

In Hong Kong, bribery risks arise in interactions with public officials, private sector relationships, procurement, tendering, and cross‑border business activities. Employees and employers must understand how bribery can occur in everyday situations and the serious consequences that follow misconduct.

Effective awareness and early intervention are critical to protecting organisations and maintaining ethical business practices.
