Introduction
Bribery and corruption are issues that have a massive effect on developing countries, and with many developed countries investing in the most corrupt countries in the world (according to Transparency International’s index), it is a worldwide issue that has serious implications for everyone. Corruption remains a serious problem for companies in most parts of the world and across industries.
The United Nations Global Compact’s (UNGC) tenth principle - “businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery” - was introduced in 2004. The adoption of this principle shows that the business community is willing to take responsibility for helping to combat corruption, leading the way to a fairer, level competitive playing field for organisations, economies and society.
"There is no business which is so important that we will jeopardize our business ethics."
(Lars Reiben Sorensen, Novo Nordisk, Denmark)
(Version 2 - produced July 2008)
