The Korean Pact for Anti-Corruption and Transparency (K-PACT) is a social pledge undertaken by actors at national level in the public and private sectors to establish corruption monitoring systems and to strengthen corporate ethics and social responsibility.

K-PACT is a national alliance made up of representatives from civil society, the public, private, and political sectors, committed to promoting and improving transparency in Korean society. Among the commitments made, this alliance has agreed to:

• develop and improve systematic anti-corruption mechanisms;

• ratify the UN Convention Against Corruption and the UN Global Compact;
• strengthen the accountability of civil society organisations;
• promote anti-corruption education in schools;
• eliminate the tolerance of corruption in Korean society.

The goals of the initiative are:

• Lead the transformation of the public and private sectors into centers of anti-corruption.
• Construct an anti-corruption system initiated by civil society.
• Make transparency an agreed-upon social norm.
