Partnering against Corruption Initiative

1

Set the “tone at the top” through a visible and active leadership commitment to zero tolerance of corruption in all its forms.

2

Build an internal commitment to a culture of integrity that encourages, recognizes and provides positive support for ethical conduct.

3

Foster transparency throughout the organization and in interactions with stakeholders.

4

Comply with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where signatories operate and transact their business.

5

Encourage and provide support to business partners to uphold the same ethical standards that PACI members observe.

6

Engage in PACI and other collective action initiatives to bring a coordinated response to the challenge of corruption, whether in specific geographies or industry sectors.

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.
