corporate bribery

Corporate bribery occurs when a company or its employees offer, give, or receive something of value—like money, gifts, or favors—to influence business decisions or gain an unfair advantage. This unethical practice can distort fair competition, compromise integrity, and lead to legal penalties. It often involves covert agreements to sway decisions such as securing contracts, avoiding regulations, or gaining preferential treatment, ultimately undermining trust in business practices and harming stakeholders.
