Transparency and Anti-Corruption
The Tenth Principle:
“ Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms,
including extortion and bribery“
On 9 December 2004, marking International Anti-Corruption Day,
the Global Compact launched a worldwide effort to raise awareness
and deepen the commitment of its participants to combat and
eliminate corruption.
The Global Compact focuses on providing background
information, guidance and tools to participating businesses and other
organizations around the world. Partnering with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime
(UNODC),
Transparency International (TI) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC ),
the World Economic Forum Partnership Against Corruption Initiative (PACI ) and the World Bank Institute (WBI
) the
Global Compact will hold dialogue events and support the collection of corporate practice
cases.
