Anti-Corruption
Does the company have an anti-corruption compliance programme?
This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants have established an anti-corruption compliance programme or plans to in the near future. An anti-corruption compliance programme typically includes policies and procedures to prevent and address corruption risks, supported by employee training, communication with business partners, and oversight from senior leadership. It should also include mechanisms for addressing violations and regular monitoring to ensure continuous improvement.
Does the company have policies and recommendations for employee procedures in case of doubt and/or in situations that may represent a conflict of interest, e.g. with regard to gifts and hospitality, donations, sponsorship, or interactions with public officials?
A risk that every organization may face are conflicts of interest, or instances where an individual in an organization has a professional, personal or private interest that diverges from theinterest the individual is expected to have when representing the organization. To mitigate the risks of conflicts of interest, the organization should develop a detailed policy or set of recommendations defining possible conflicts, describing methods to address potential occurrences and ensure the policies and procedures are not only known to employees but also to the business partners and other external stakeholders.
Does the company engage in collective action against corruption?
This data shows whether UN Global Compact participants have engaged in collective action against corruption or if engagement in collective action has been identified as a possibility in the near future. Collective action initiatives can include collaborative efforts such as integrity pacts, anti-corruption declarations, business coalitions, principle-based initiatives, and education or training programmes aimed at preventing corruption.

Who receives training on anti-corruption and integrity?
Training refers to vocational instruction, paid educational leave, externally funded education, and training on specific topics provided or supported by the organization. Note that participants could not select both “Selected employees” and “All employees.” This question is designed to determine whether (1) all employees receive anti-corruption training, regardless of the number of training programs offered; (2) only some employees receive such training while others receive none; or (3) no anti-corruption training is provided to employees at all. If all employees had received at least one anti-corruption training session, but certain employees received additional training due to their role, participants should have selected “All employees.”
