Anti-Corruption Policy Facilitation or grease payments are usually small payments to a low-level government employee to expedite or secure performance of a routine, non-discretionary governmental action, such as obtaining utility services or clearing customs. They are unlawful in most countries and are strictly prohibited under AB InBev’s Anti-Corruption Policy. Remember to consult the Compliance Channel in case you have questions before making a decision!
