Collective Action for Clean Business

Promote business integrity among individual businesses, groups of businesses, and within the business environment through Collective Action

The project aimed at promoting business integrity among individual businesses, groups of businesses, and within the business environment through Collective Action.

To achieve this, the project sought to improve the capacity of Transparency International to work as a catalyst for Collective Action at national level in multiple countries and advocate improved standards, norms and practices within international fora and initiatives.

The project was implemented by the Transparency International Secretariat with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.

Key activities included:

• Developing evidence bases for Collective Action at national level through “Transparency in Corporate Reporting Assessments” and “Business Integrity Country Assessments”;
• Evaluating the effectiveness of and providing support for the replication of Integrity Pacts for procurement at a new scale;
• Disseminating learning and expertise within the TI Movement on Collective Action for clean business;
• Increasing international advocacy to help strengthen the development, promotion and enforcement of global standards in existing and new areas relating to business integrity.

As a result a total of 68 companies in three countries improved their public reporting practices on anti-corruption.
