On April 11, the Board of “Rīgas satiksme” decided to start the implementation of the ISO 370001:2016 Anti-bribery management system standard. The above standard provides guidelines for the establishment, maintenance, revision and improvement of the anticorruption management system. This standard aims to prevent various bribery schemes in state and private sectors, with or without an intermediary, benefiting the organization or its individual employees.
Active work is also underway in “Rīgas satiksme” to develop the internal whistle-blowing system, internal regulatory acts are also updated so that the company could be fully prepared for the Whistle Blower law taking effect on May 1.
“Rīgas satiksme” has developed the procedure of pseudonymizing and protecting the whistle blower’s data. As is known, within the meaning of the Whistle blower law, the whistle blower is a person who sounds alarm about violations at his/her working place. It is in the public interests to sound alarm about, for instance, squandering of finance and property, corruption, tax evasion, risks to public health, environment and building safety.
