Implementing integrity practices in GCC private and public businesses

Mission

Promote integrity and ethical standards among business leaders (and future leaders) in the Gulf Region

Goals

The project sought to promote integrity and ethical standards among business leaders (and future leaders) in the Gulf Region to thorough education, peer-exchange and the development of practical anti-corruption tools.

The main objectives were to:

  • Develop a Gulf Region focused Integrity Measure and publish it widely to provide businesses with a tool to measure integrity and thereby foster integrity and transparency within businesses in the region;
  • Facilitate the creation of a Collective Action community, and enhance dialogue between the business community, civil society and government;
  • Engage future business leaders by encouraging universities in the region to include integrity practices in their curricula.

Stakeholders

The project was implemented by the Pearl Initiative with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
