Additional information The UN Global Compact has initiated collective action against corruption within local networks, supported by the Third Round of funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative. The project aims to support collective action by local UN Global Compact networks and foster cooperation between public and private actors in the fight against corruption. Its goal is not only to combat bribery, extortion and other forms of corruption, but also to eliminate it throughout the supply chain. Anti-corruption is one of the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact, which should be at the heart of every business. The Anti-Corruption Collective Action Initiative aims to increase business transparency and strengthen private-public cooperation to combat corruption in Ukraine.As part of the Anti-Corruption Collective Action Initiative, the UN Global Compact in Ukraine initiated a Memorandum of Understanding on Joint Anti-Corruption Action in Ukraine, which declares support for increasing the level of transparency and integrity in the Ukrainian business environment. By signing the Memorandum, companies: – commit to promoting transparency and integrity in their operations; – commit to implementing and maintaining standards of ethical conduct within the organization; – seek to increase public trust in business by demonstrating responsibility and transparency; – are ready to cooperate with other companies, government agencies and public organizations to achieve common goals; – support initiatives aimed at preventing corruption, including training and raising awareness of their employees. Reference: The UN Global Compact in Ukraine is a local network of the world’s largest community of responsible businesses. This is the official representative in Ukraine of the global network UN Global Compact (United Nations Global Compact), which calls on companies to build their activities and strategy taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals and based on the Ten Principles in the field of human rights, labor protection, environmental protection and anti-corruption. Principle 10 of the UN Global Compact – Businesses should combat all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery. There are many reasons why eliminating corruption has become a priority in the business community. Trust in business among investors, customers, employees and the public has been undermined by recent business ethics scandals around the world. Businesses face high ethical and business risks, leading to potential costs, when they fail to effectively combat corruption in all its forms.The UN Global Compact provides that participants consider the following three elements when fighting corruption and implementing the tenth principle:Internal – as the first and main step, to implement anti-corruption policies and programs within their organizations and their business processes;External – report on the fight against corruption in the annual Progress Report, as well as share experiences and best practices;Collective – join forces with other stakeholders to increase anti-corruption efforts, improve the playing field, and create fair competition for all. Anti-Corruption Collective Action is an international anti-corruption program, which the Ukrainian UN DG network joined in September 2020. It is open to the participation of a wide range of stakeholders. The Siemens Integrity Initiative is a global program established by Siemens as part of its commitment to combating corruption and promoting integrity in the business environment. The initiative was founded in 2009 as a result of the global settlement of the Siemens anti-corruption scandal. As part of the agreement, the company agreed to invest more than $100 million in promoting integrity through support for independent projects.
