Doing Business With Integrity: Stories from SMEs in Europe and Eurasia

Business ethics, integrity, and compliance are often relatively new concepts for businesses in emerging markets, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To help SMEs realize the benefits of business integrity and offer practical suggestions to implement robust mechanisms for compliance and ethics, the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) published the Strengthening Ethical Conduct & Business Integrity: A Guide for Companies in Emerging Markets in December 2020.

The Guide offers practical recommendations to small business owners on how to apply existing anti-corruption compliance tools to their operations and growing needs for effective risk mitigation strategies and approaches.

This new publication *Doing Business with Integrity: Stories from Small-and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Europe and Eurasia *seeks to supplement the Guide by providing specific, real-world examples of both business integrity challenges that companies face and approaches they use to overcome such challenges.
