the eye.

❖ Do not view a laser beam through light-collecting optics such as

binoculars and microscopes.
❖ Ensure that the laser is inactivated (the button is not pressed) when

ETHICS MOMENT
Attempted bribery
A complaint was received about attempted bribery at one of the project office in
India.

Who was involved?

The person involved in attempting the bribery is employed by a contractor working
on this project.

What exactly happened?

During a routine visit to the project site, the contractor employee attempted to bribe
our staff by offering cash.

Reason for bribery?

The employee who was approached is working on this project since considerable
period and he has undergone the Compliance & Ethics training. He is doing a great
job by flagging up poor workmanship by the contractor; which was resulting in re-
work for the contractor, ultimately leading to additional expenditure.

Attempted bribery
What was done right?

• Staff refused to get bribed

• Staff informed the Compliance & Ethics department
• Staff co-operated with the investigating team

How serious is this issue?

Since Louis Berger operates in USA and UK, we are obliged to adhere to Anti-
bribery regulations of both these countries. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(FCPA - USA) and the UK Bribery Act (UKBA – UK).

The above regulations prohibit all Louis Berger employees from indulging in any
acts of bribery, with a government of a private official.

• My story was based on a monologue by a 13

year old boy, it was based on the description of
his friendship with a girl living next door, named
Henan. The boy told the story of those
unfortunate days when My Lai became a victim
of atrocities by American Soldiers during the
Vietnam war.

down the entire My Lai village. To a hunch more
than 400 Men, Women and Children were
brutally murdered in this barbaric Massacre.

1975.
