Public voting has opened for this year’s prestigious Collective Action Awards.

Launched in 2022, the Collective Action Awards celebrate inspiring and outstanding multi-stakeholder initiatives to raise standards of business integrity in a particular context. Two award categories are available: “Outstanding Achievement” and “Inspirational Newcomer”.

Following the public vote, this year's awards will be presented at the 5th International Collective Action Conference in Basel, Switzerland, on 24–25 June 2024.

The Conference and Awards are organised with the support of the Siemens Integrity Initiative.

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.

Congratulations to our three finalists in this category:

An expert jury reviewed all nominated initiatives and shortlisted the finalists. The jury consisted of a senior member of the Basel Institute (Vanessa Hans, Head of Private Sector) and three leading figures in the anti-corruption Collective Action community:

• Gilbert Sendugwa, Senior Regional Manager for Africa at the CoST – Infrastructure Transparency Initiative
