Recognising the fundamentally destructive nature of corruption and bribery on societies, economies and businesses, and in support of their companies’ unconditional commitment and strict policies against corruption and bribery in all their business dealings, the members of the Working Group on Integrity in Energy and Transport aim to collaborate to develop anti-corruption initiatives in countries in which they operate.

These initiatives may include:

• supporting the establishment, by governments, of corruption-reporting mechanisms;
• the promotion of public-private initiatives to reduce both the supply and the demand of illicit payments in the context of public procurement;
• joint outreach to suppliers and other third parties with a view to enhancing awareness and respect for strict anti-bribery principles in business environments.
