Anti-Fraud Policy

Clean Vision Corporation is committed to combating fraud and corruption wherever it is found, with priority to protecting the assets of our stakeholders and customers. Clean Vision Corporation has a robust prevention and detection strategy and takes strong measures to ensure the deterrence and detection of fraud. Clean Vision Corporation will investigate all instances of actual or suspected fraud and report these to the relevant authorities and take disciplinary and/or legal action as appropriate. All efforts will be made to recover assets which have been fraudulently obtained. We take the threat of external and internal fraud very seriously, and we will take the strongest possible action against staff and third parties who commit fraud.

This Policy applies to all employees, contractors and shareholders of Clean Vision Corporation and companies within the Clean Vision Corporation’s group.

For the purposes of this Policy ‘fraud’ is broadly defined as an intentional act, false representation or concealment of a material fact with the intention of dishonestly and permanently depriving another of their asset(s). Examples of fraud include but are not limited to the following:

Any forgery or alteration of any document or account belonging to Clean Vision Corporation, its subsidiaries or its clients
Misappropriation of funds, securities, supplies or other assets

Profiteering from illegal activity such as insider dealing

The definition of ‘fraud’ includes attempts to carry out any of the above, i.e. actively planning and/or carrying out steps to achieve the above outcomes. It also includes any attempts (successful or not) to induce another (whether or not an employee of the Clean Vision Corporation’s Group) to commit any of the above acts.

All employees and officers of the Group have a responsibility to be alert to, and to immediately report, actual or suspected fraud. The CEO has overall responsibility for the management of fraud risk.

Once actual or potential fraud is reported the board will work with management to investigate the fraud and determine what action needs to be taken, including any legal or disciplinary action. The issue may need to be escalated to the appropriate regulatory agencies, including the National Crime Agency. Our insurers may need to be notified.

Staff should not handle enquiries from the press: these should be referred to the Head of Legal who will issue a press statement and handle any press contact.

The formal procedures which employees should follow if fraud is suspected are set out in Clean Vision Corporation ’s Fraud Response Plan.

Notification that all instances of suspected fraud will be investigated and reported to the appropriate authorities.

Everyone is subject to this anti-fraud policy and responsible for reporting suspected violations of the anti-fraud policy. Suspected violations are to be reported to an employee’s supervisor, Clean Vision Corporation’s Human Resources Department, Clean Vision Corporation’s Chief Compliance Officer, Clean Vision Corporation’s Legal Department, the Board of Directors of Clean Vision Corporation, or by emailing the compliance officer at: corp_affairs@cleanvisioncorp.com, with the subject line: “Reporting suspected anti-fraud policy violations” for specific instructions.

Any waiver of any provision of the anti-fraud policy for directors or executive officers may only be made by the Board of Directors of the applicable Clean Vision Corporation.

Bribery and Corruption

What is bribery and corruption?

1 Bribery is offering, promising, giving, or accepting any financial or other advantage, to induce the recipient or any other person to act improperly in the performance of their functions, or to reward them for acting improperly, or where the recipient would act improperly by accepting the advantage.

2 An advantage includes money, gifts, loans, fees, hospitality, services, discounts, the award of a contract or anything else of value.

3 A person acts improperly where they act illegally, unethically, or contrary to an expectation of good faith or impartiality, or where they abuse a position of trust. The improper acts may be in relation to any business or professional activities, public functions, acts in the course of employment, or other activities by or on behalf of any organisation of any kind.

4 Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power or position for private gain.

5 What employees must not do:

It is not acceptable for you (or someone on your behalf) to:

(a) Give, promise to give, or offer, a payment, gift or hospitality with the expectation or hope that a business advantage will be received, or to reward a business advantage already given.

(b) Give or accept a gift or hospitality during any commercial negotiations or tender process if this could be perceived as intended or likely to influence the outcome.

(c) Accept a payment, gift, or hospitality from a third party that you know, or suspect is offered with the expectation that it we will provide a business advantage for them or anyone else in return.

(d) Accept hospitality from a third party that is unduly lavish or extravagant under the circumstances.

(e) Offer or accept a gift to or from government officials or representatives, or politicians or political parties, without the prior approval of your line manager.

(f) Threaten or retaliate against another individual who has refused to commit a bribery offence or who has raised concerns under this policy.

(g) Engage in any other activity that might lead to a breach of this policy.

6 Facilitation payments and kickbacks

6.1 We do not make, and will not accept, facilitation payments or "kickbacks" of any kind.

6.2 Facilitation payments, also known as "back-handers" or "grease payments", are typically small, unofficial payments made to secure or expedite a routine or necessary action (for example by a government official). They are not common but are common in some other jurisdictions.

6.3 Kickbacks are typically payments made in return for a business favour or advantage.

6.4 You must avoid any activity that might lead to a facilitation payment or kickback being made or accepted by us or on our behalf, or that might suggest that such a payment will be made or accepted. If you are asked to make a payment on our behalf, you should always be mindful of what the payment is for and whether the amount requested is proportionate to the goods or services provided. You should always ask for a receipt which details the reason for the payment.

If you have any suspicions, concerns, or queries regarding a payment, you should raise these with your line manager.

7 Gifts, hospitality, and expenses

7.1 This policy allows reasonable and appropriate hospitality or entertainment given to or received from third parties, for the purposes of:

(a) establishing or maintaining good business relationships

(b) improving or maintaining our image or reputation

7.2 The giving [and accepting] of gifts is allowed if the following requirements are met:

(a) It is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits

(b) It is given in our name, not in your name

(d) It is appropriate in the circumstances, taking account of the reason for the gift, its timing and value. For example, in some regions it is customary for small gifts to be given at Christmas.

(e) It is given openly, not secretly

(f) It complies with any applicable local law

7.3 Promotional gifts of low value such as branded stationery to or from existing customers, suppliers and business partners will usually be acceptable.

7.4 Reimbursing a third party's expenses or accepting an offer to reimburse our expenses (for example, the costs of attending a business meeting) would not usually amount to bribery.

However, a payment in excess of genuine and reasonable business expenses (such as the cost of an extended hotel stay) is not acceptable.

7.5 We appreciate that practice varies between countries and regions and what may be normal and acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift, hospitality or payment is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind it should always be considered.

8 Record-keeping

8.1 We must keep financial records and have appropriate internal controls in place which will evidence the business reason for making payments to third parties.

8.2 You must declare and keep a written record of all hospitality or gifts given or received, which will be subject to managerial review.

10.1 You are encouraged to raise concerns about any issue or suspicion of bribery or corruption at the earliest possible stage.
