Compliance

Auditing, codes of conduct and presenting the ‘business case’ to suppliers is not enough. Actually changing the business practice of suppliers requires more than platitudinous statements of commitment. In this section we look beyond compliance at how to develop suppliers and induce real change of managerial practices for improved productivity, responsible use of labour, greater environmental performance and creating long-term reliable supplier bases.

  • Comprehensive Ways of Communication on Anti-Corruption Measures and Compliance

    Jenice Hartmann, Business Keeper
    Business Keeper AG

    Nowadays, there is agreement within companies and the public that neither corruption nor other contraventions of national and international regulations are acceptable. Corruption causes an estimated economic harm of up to $4 trillion per year; the number of unreported cases and not quantifiable social harm through the erosion of trust and the economic systems is much higher. As is publically known, companies such as Wal-Mart, Monsanto, and General Electric were strongly sanctioned by government and society for their corrupt business activities. In times of financial crisis, a sustainable business model is more important than ever to ensure the necessary social acceptance and “license to operate.”  more[...]

    Bill Baue

  • Corruption: Shining a light on the world’s biggest companies

    The world’s 105 biggest companies are worth more than US$11 trillion. They touch the lives of people across the globe. But just how much do we know about their impact on daily lives? Too often, citizens experience little benefit from global economic activity while suffering the consequences of unethical corporate activity. Transparency in Corporate Reporting assesses the disclosure of steps these companies have in place to fight corruption. It also looks at companies’ transparency footprint across 177 countries: to what extent are earnings and taxes in specific countries made public.  more[...]
