ONCF Awarded ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Certification for All Operations
Rabat – Morocco's National Railways Office (ONCF) has announced receiving the ISO 37001 certification for its Anti-Bribery Management System.
The certificate was granted on March 3 and covers all ONCF activities and work sites across the country, the company said in a press release.
It added that the Moroccan Institute for Standardization (IMANOR) issued the certification after a thorough audit carried out between January 27 and 29 this year.
The ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Certification is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help organizations prevent, detect, and address bribery.
It was published in 2016 to provide a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an anti-bribery management system (ABMS).
ONCF says this recognition reflects its strong commitment to ethics, transparency, and responsible governance.
By obtaining the ISO 37001 certificate, ONCF says it aims to build a workplace culture based on integrity and the prevention of bribery risks, following the best international practices.
The anti-bribery system features a defined policy that aligns with international standards. It includes a comprehensive framework for preventing and managing bribery risks, a system for identifying and handling conflicts of interest, continuous training and awareness programs for employees, and a secure whistleblowing mechanism that promotes transparency and accountability across the organization.
ONCF also stated that it has carefully identified, analyzed, and addressed all bribery-related risks as part of its continuous improvement strategy.
This certification reflects the collaborative efforts and strong mobilization of its teams, the company noted, concluding that it marks an important milestone in reinforcing good governance and a strong ethical foundation within the organization.

CGEM Urges Morocco's Private Sector to Grant June 9 Holiday for Eid Al Adha
Rabat – Chakib Alj, the President of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), has urged the private sector companies to grant employees a day off on Monday, June 9, aligning with the public sector, in celebration of Eid Al-Adha, which will take place on Saturday, June 7 in Morocco. Last week, the government decided to exceptionally suspend work in state administrations and local authorities on Monday, June 9. CGEM called on companies to follow suit, noting: 'We invite, as far as possible, private sector companies to also grant Monday, June 9, as a day off to their employees,' Alj said. Eid Al Adha falls on the tenth day of Dhu Al Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Islamic month marks Eid Al Adha or the sacrifice feast, which commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah's command. Dhu Al Hijjah also marks the Hajj pilgrimage, which will commence on June 4. While the feast is a sacred and special time in Morocco, Moroccans will celebrate it differently this time. In February, Morocco announced its decision to cancel the Eid Al Adha sacrifice ritual due to drought and a notable decrease in the country's livestock population due to dry seasons that affected Morocco's agriculture sector for six years in a row. This is not the first time Morocco has canceled the Eid Al Adha sacrifice ritual. The first time dates back to 1963 when the late King Hassan II announced the cancellation of the sacrifice ritual during the Sand War between Morocco and Algeria, as it affected the two countries' economies. The second time was in 1981, and the cancellation was due to drought, as well as in 1996. Last week, ONCF announced that it has expanded the train schedule ahead of Eid Al Adha from May 30 to June 15 to help travelers move easily and safely during the holiday. The program includes up to 237 trains per day across the national network. ONCF also pledged to add extra trains on the main routes to help passengers during busy times.

Morocco, Korea Expand Joint Efforts to Combat Corruption
In a move to bolster joint efforts against corruption, Morocco and Korea signed a memorandum of understanding Tuesday in Rabat, laying the groundwork for closer cooperation on transparency and integrity. The agreement was signed between Morocco's National Authority for Probity Prevention and Fight against Corruption and Korea's Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, with the aim of promoting ethics and preventing corruption in line with their national laws and international conventions to which they are parties. It reflects both parties' shared conviction that corruption poses a threat to the progress and security of societies. Through this MoU, they demonstrate their commitment to developing suitable mechanisms for the implementation of the provisions of the 2003 UN Convention against Corruption, namely through bilateral agreements. In a statement to the press, Morocco's National Authority President Mohamed Benalilou viewed the signing as an opportunity to tap into Korea's expertise in tackling corruption, with a special focus on their integrity measurement indicators. The indicator developed by the Korean Commission is regarded as a best practice, offering a model from which Morocco's anti-corruption authority can draw inspiration to develop a similar national tool for shaping effective policies in integrity and transparency, Morocco's Authority says in a press release. Korea's Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea is considered one of the most effective bodies in fighting corruption in the country, says the same source. For his part, Ryu Jeol Wan, Korea's Anti-Corruption Commission President, said that the agreement represents a significant practical step toward cooperation between the two countries in preventing and combating corruption, in parallel with the existing economic cooperation between them. He praised the strong, longstanding friendship that unites the two nations, adding that this initiative aims to strengthen anti-corruption capabilities and the exchange of expertise, with the goal of achieving high-integrity and transparent societies. Additionally, areas of bilateral cooperation will mainly include the exchange of expertise, best practices, and lessons learned from challenges in preventing and combating corruption; the development of technical training programs to build the capacities of both parties. It will also involve support for the implementation of education and training programs as well as the organization of joint seminars and workshops on topics related to transparency, integrity, and anti-corruption.
