The purpose of the Business Principles is to provide practical anti-bribery guidelines for all enterprises to help create a more level playing field. They represent a good practice model for corporate anti-bribery policies and programs. They apply both to bribery of public officials and to private-to-private transactions.

Key Facts

This collaboration resulted in the TI Business Principles for Countering Bribery and the World Economic Forum's Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI).
