It is the policy of Georgia Tech that each of our employees, faculty, staff, agents, representatives, vendors and other third parties that work with GIT, GTRC and GTARC comply with the anti-bribery laws of the United States and of the foreign countries where Georgia Tech does business. Bribery of any kind in the United States and abroad, regardless of foreign custom or practice, is strictly prohibited. No Georgia Tech employee, faculty, staff, agent, representative, vendor or any other third party with which Georgia Tech works shall make any payment or provide anything of value, to any person, in order to improperly influence that person to secure any advantage for Georgia Tech, including obtaining or retaining business, or directing business to any person or entity. It is also the policy of Georgia Tech that each of its employees, faculty, staff, agents, representatives, vendors and all third parties that work with Georgia Tech make and keep books, records, and accounts, which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect any transactions and dispositions of the university and any of its subsidiaries or partners. Any contracts involving, directly or indirectly, foreign officials must be in writing and reviewed by the Georgia Tech Office of Legal Affairs prior to execution. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is a federal law (15 U.S.C. § 78-dd-21 et seq.) that exists to prevent corrupt practices in international transactions. The Act prohibits bribery of foreign officials and employees who work for foreign governments. The FCPA prohibits the corrupt payment (or offer, promise or authorization of payment) of anything of value to any foreign official or employee, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person or entity, or securing any improper advantage. The FCPA’s prohibitions are applicable to United States organizations, public or private, and any person, including a foreign person or firm, if they commit a prohibited act in the United States. Further, a United States entity may be held liable under the FCPA for the improper activities of its foreign subsidiaries if the United States entity authorized or participated in the conduct. This policy ensures the Georgia Tech community is aware of, monitors, and complies with this statute.

It is the policy of Georgia Tech that that each of our employees, faculty, staff, agents, representatives, vendors and other third parties that work with GIT, GTRC and GTARC comply with all requirements set forth in Title 15 C.F.R. Part 760 (Restrictive Trade Practices or Boycotts) and all related regulations pertaining to boycotts of specific countries.

United States law prohibits any United States person from refusing, agreeing to refuse, or requiring or requesting any other person to refuse to do business with any business concern organized under the laws of a boycotted country, with any national or resident of a boycotted country, or any other person, when such refusal is the result of an agreement, requirement, or request of a boycotting country which runs counter to United States policy.

It is the policy of Georgia Tech that that each of our employees, faculty, staff, agents, representatives, vendors and other third parties that work with GIT, GTRC and GTARC comply with all requirements set forth in 18 U.S.C. 77 §§1581 et. seq.
