Corporate compliance programs and integrity systems
All stakeholders must contribute to the fight against corruption in business. Businesses, which are often the source of bribes and illicit payments, also have a role in reducing corruption—and have begun to act accordingly. Individual companies are taking action, and some industries in specific countries have taken collective steps as well.
