PROCESSES TO ENSURE
STRONG GOVERNANCE
Ethics and anti-corruption
To combat the risks posed by corruption, our Anti-Bribery
Compliance Program Framework addresses the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act and other
global anti-bribery laws.
The program trains on the global prohibition against any
request, authorization, payment, promise, or offer to give
anything of value to a government official or to any other
person, to improperly influence that person to act favorably
towards them, AlixPartners or its client(s), or to act in a way
they would not otherwise act.
Client selection
Our Risk Management Committee (RMC) is staffed with
Partners & Managing Directors who bring decades of
experience to protect the firm. One RMC subcommittee
addresses reputational risk, including by determining
which engagements that we will not accept under any
circumstances.
Examples of such engagements include those on behalf
of individuals charged with crimes such as human
trafficking, narcotics trafficking, and child pornography.
The RMC also reviews any opportunity that may impact our
reputation because of association with either high-profile or
controversial individuals, groups, or activities.
Procurement and Supplier Diversity
AlixPartners is dedicated to maintaining an efficient,
effective, and diverse supplier network which enables
and enhances our professional services delivery. Our
Finance Procurement team reviews and negotiates all
contracts with suppliers to evaluate and negotiate costs
and risks, coordinating with legal, privacy and security
teams as needed.
In 2021, we launched the AlixPartners Supplier Diversity
Program. In 2022, the program helped us advance the
technology, resources, and our approaches to attracting
diverse suppliers.
Under the program, we collaborate with diverse suppliers
including companies owned by women, veterans, or
underserved populations, in ways that help them gain an
equal share in the market and help us operate efficiently.
Supplier Diversity in Action
Our Offices
During renovations at our
Chicago office, vendors were
found through our new Supplier
Diversity Program, supporting
multiple small businesses
including a women-owned
business and a certified small
disadvantaged business.
Our Events
In 2022, our events team worked
closely with five women- and
Black-owned companies for
event-related services, totaling
nearly $500,000 in business.
