Gifts, Benefits and Hospitality Policy

The offering of gifts, benefits and hospitality is a feature of business. In the course of your work you (or your family, relations, friends or associates) may be offered gifts or benefits by customers, applicants, suppliers, or other people or organisations.

It’s important you respond to these offers ethically and in accordance with this policy and its procedures. There can be serious consequences for the EPA and its employees if the management of gifts, benefits and hospitality is mishandled.
