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 UN 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.
