## Impact

Building integrity through collective action fosters trust, reduces risks and helps medium-sized enterprises (MEs) integrate into global supply chains.Medium-sized enterprises often face challenges in maintaining robust integrity systems, particularly given limited resources. In response, the World Economic Forum partnered with Transparency International to develop a practical toolkit that supports companies in implementing proportionate anti-corruption measures and embedding a culture of integrity. The launch of the toolkit was complemented by in-person training sessions for MEs in Brazil, Mexico, India and South Africa.
