With a growing list of risks, from fraud and corruption to forced labor and artificial intelligence, the pressure on ethics & compliance teams is mounting.
New sustainability reporting and audit standards add to the burden.

Integrity Bridge provides a full range of consulting services to support the continuous improvement of your ethics & compliance, third party risk management, responsible sourcing & sustainability programs.
Former Compliance Officers Supporting Compliance Officers
We understand the political, budgetary, and management pressures you face, because we’ve been there.
Moving From a “Snapshot” to Continuous, Data-Driven Risk Assessment
Snapshot risk assessments are costly and limited in their effectiveness. We can help develop a more sustainable approach to risk assessment.
Compliance, Sustainability & Functional Governance. It’s All Connected
Compliance & Sustainability cannot be in their own governance ivory towers. We unlock the effectiveness of your compliance controls by embedding them within Sales, Procurement and other functional processes.
One Program to Manage Them All
Third parties present corruption, fraud, sanctions, forced labor, environmental, data privacy, cyber-security and other risks. We help align due diligence efforts and integrate with customer/supplier qualification processes and screening technology.
INSPIRING CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SPEAK UP PROCESS
A robust investigation process, and demonstrable commitment to remediation are critical influences on speak up culture. We can take a fresh look at your governance and case management tool to identify improvements.

Andrew McBride is the former Chief Risk & Compliance Officer of Albemarle Corporation. Andrew has over 25 years of compliance experience, working in the Americas, Europe, and Australasia. During his time at Albemarle, Andrew built a new ethics & compliance program against the backdrop of a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation.
In September 2023, the investigation was resolved by way of a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and Cease & Desist Order with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Albemarle secured a 45% ($81m) reduction in penalty due to its cooperation with the investigation and the compliance program that Andrew built, the largest FCPA % penalty reduction to date. In recognition of these efforts, Albemarle was awarded Compliance Program of the Year by Compliance Week in May 2024.
Let this case be an example for companies considering how to achieve the best result under our policies.
