Integrity and Transparency in Business Initiative for Vietnam

Mobilize the business community in Vietnam to address challenges of integrity, transparency and corruption

The initiative aimed at bringing companies operating in Vietnam together to work towards improving integrity and transparency in the way business is conducted. It is expected that the key objective will be achieved by focusing on three main activities.

• Initially, the project put emphasis on implementation of research and the development of technical and communication tools to raise awareness and understanding of transparency concepts and the need for improved business practices.
• In parallel with awareness raising, it encouraged enforcement of reforms through promoting multi-stakeholder consultation and dialogue and policy advice on transparency and integrity. -Finally, it promoted positive change in business practices through development and implementation of training programs. It was believed that the achievements from implementing these activities will be scaled up, to have a greater impact on the sustainable improvement of transparency and integrity in doing business in Vietnam.

The project was implemented by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Office for Business Sustainable Development in cooperation with the International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
