Spanish term or phrase: onerosidades
This is part of a company's Code of Ethics, in the same paragraph as the following "... regalos, obsequios, onerosidades, atenciones, medidas contra el soborno y la corrupción..." I'm trying to figure out what they mean by "onerosidades" since "onerosities" does not seem to fit the picture, but who knows...
Many thanks in advance!

"Onerous" in the sense that it imposes a burden on the recipient to respond in some way, not in the sense that it is expensive for the giver.

for example:
DRAE
contrato oneroso

1. m. Der. contrato que implica alguna contraprestación.

paid favo/u/rs 'with a catch'


Explanation:
Perhaps there has been a conflation or mix-up wuth generosidades.

Usual blank drawn with IATE for 'onerosidad', but oneroso can mean for valuable consideration, so onerous in the sense of weighing on the recipient or 'beneficiary'.

Example sentence(s):
  • La generosidad es lo que nos impulsa a dar sin esperar recibir nada a cambio.
