Global Compact Self Assessment - ANTI-CORRUPTION

AC.2.a. JOINT ACTIONS

Does the company take joint actions with others to engage in and promote anti-corruption initiatives?

ABOUT THIS QUESTION

It can be difficult for a company to change a corrupt environment alone. Collective or joint actions are proven methods of fighting corruption and increasing each company's impact by making fair business practices more common and elevating individual actions into an alliance of like-minded organizations. Collaboration builds integrity in the business community and can reduce corruption in the broader community.

See for example: Fighting Corruption through Collective Action, World Bank Institute, Version 1.0 A Joint effort with business, NGOs, and multilaterals.
