Gretta Fenner Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action Award

In the category of Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action 2025, the award goes to Saya Perempuan Antikorupsi – SPAK Indonesia (I am a woman against corruption).

Organisations and initiatives awarded in this category have made significant contributions towards fairer market conditions and the prevention of corruption through their engagement in Collective Action.

SPAK Indonesia, launched in 2014, empowers women across Indonesia to become agents of change against corruption. Through engaging educational tools and community involvement, SPAK promotes anti-corruption values in various settings, including schools and public institutions. They help build anti-corruption ecosystems and advocate against corruption as a root cause of violence against women.

Collective Action Inspirational Newcomer Award

In the category of Inspirational Newcomer, the award goes to the Code of Ethics for Businesses in Kenya, developed by UN Global Compact Network Kenya in collaboration with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers and the Kenya Private Sector Alliance.

Organisations and initiatives awarded in this category have been active in the field of Collective Action for less than two years.

Launched recently, the Code of Ethics for Businesses in Kenya is a private-sector-led initiative rooted in the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles. It unites over 800 companies in a collective stand against corruption, guiding responsible business conduct across all stakeholder groups. With digital tools like a transparency microsite enabling open reporting and compliance, the Code is transforming corporate culture across Kenya.
