Fighting bribery requires more than policies – it demands clear accountability, strong systems and independent oversight. One way to demonstrate that commitment is through independent certification against recognised standards.
Introducing ISO 37001
ISO 37001 is an international standard that provides companies with a practical framework for developing and maintaining anti-bribery management systems. Setting clear requirements for preventing, detecting and addressing bribery helps organisations turn policies into effective day-to-day practices. Certification confirms that these requirements have been applied and controls are in place to manage bribery risks.
Speeki Europe certifies Puma Energy’s anti-bribery management system
One of the most recent companies to be awarded certification under ISO 37001 is Puma Energy, which worked with Speeki Europe to assess its anti-bribery management system. Following a detailed audit, the company was certified in April 2025, confirming that its controls meet the standard’s requirements and support effective management of bribery risks.

Why companies are getting ISO 37001 certified
