No gifts or money shall be accepted by IRC staff from Suppliers. However, since the offer
of small gifts is generally an accepted part of commercial life, and the IRC wishes to avoid
offending or damaging relationships with Suppliers, an exception to this rule can be made
for gifts of an inexpensive or seasonal nature such as business diaries, calendars or pens. If
Suppliers are inappropriate in offers of gifts, it should be reported to the Supply Chain
Coordinator, DDO, or according to the IRC Way.
The provision of hospitality by Suppliers may represent an attempt to circumvent the rules
on acceptance of gifts. While modest, traditional hospitality may be accepted, its frequency
and scale should not be significantly greater than that which the IRC would be likely to
provide in return.
Accepting "free" travel or invitations to visit suppliers or other events, particularly to distant
or expensive locations, is likely to be regarded as having influenced a particular decision.
Staff members should not accept such travel unless approved by Chief Global Supply Chain
Officer (CGSCO).
