Your Homes Newcastle Statement on Anti-Bribery and Corruption This is a policy statement by Your Homes Newcastle Limited in respect of the organisation’s commitment to meet its responsibilities under the provisions of the Bribery Act 2010 (‘the Act’), which came into force on 1 July 2011. We are committed to carrying out our business transparently and fairly and operate a zero tolerance policy towards bribery by our Board members, employees, contractors, agents and other associated persons. Incidents of bribery could lead to our reputation being damaged and also lead to deterioration in our relationship with tenants, customers, business colleagues and other stakeholders. We are committed to working only with other organisations and/or individuals who are also committed to doing business without bribery. Any organisation and/or individual who wish to work with us must demonstrate such commitment to conducting their business without corruption and bribery. The Board has approved an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy (‘the Policy’) which complements other policies and procedures to ensure that we are best placed to achieve and maintain high standards of corporate and individual responsibility. We will comply with the Act by following the principles of: Proportionality

Anti-bribery policies and procedures are proportionate to our activities, the sector in which we operate and the risks we face.

Top level commitment

We will establish a clear culture within the organisation in which bribery is unacceptable.

Risk Assessment

We will understand the bribery risks we face by carrying out regular and comprehensive risk assessments.

Due Diligence

We will make sure our partners and contractors also have common anti-bribery agreements in place.

Communication We will take measures so that all employees, board members and business partners know the procedures to follow in situations which may be sensitive to bribery and that our anti-bribery policies are embedded in our culture. Monitoring and Review

We will monitor and review procedures designed to manage the risks of internal and external bribery and corruption.
