OREANDA-NEWS. The Gazprom Board of Directors took note of the information concerning the measures aimed at preventing and fighting corruption at Gazprom Group.

It was highlighted at the meeting that the anti-corruption activities were carried out on an ongoing basis in accordance with the existing legislation and the Company's regulatory documents, particularly the Code of Corporate Ethics.

In the course of contracting and procurement processes great attention is paid to identifying the risks related to the affiliation between potential contractors and the Company's employees. Measures are taken to prevent and eliminate conflicts of interest.
