Presentation
ISO 37001:2025 is the new edition of the international standard for Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS). Published in February 2025, the update retains the structure and fundamental requirements of the 2016 edition, ensuring continuity in establishing an effective ABMS. It has undergone technical revision to incorporate key updates and improvements, including ISO 37001:2016/Amd 1:2024.
This ISO 37001:2025 Transition course introduces the essential differences between the 2016 and 2025 editions. Understand the new requirements and learn how to adapt your existing ABMS to comply with the latest edition.
After this 2-day program, you can take the PECB Certified ISO 37001:2025 Transition examination, included in our offering (see the Certification tab for details). Passing it earns an internationally recognised certification demonstrating your ability to update an ABMS in line with the new standard.
