A project of the Center for Civil Communications from 2018-2021, “Integrity and anti-corruption in the business sector” is an action that will strengthen civil society’s impact on decreasing corruption in the business sector by improving transparency, accountability and integrity of state-owned enterprises and increasing the private sector’s participation in the fight against corruption.

The action is expected to provide the following results:

The Oil & Energy Forum against Corruption grew out of an initiative by the French major Total. At each meeting Forum members exchange on their practices. No common action is warranted on all topics broached but each member may find inspiration in what is debated. Legal, regulatory and judiciary matters may be mentioned and lessons drawn from them. Two policies are of particularly interest to the members: third party assurance and Ethics and Compliance training. In order to keep momentum, members meet regularly in person or by phone every six weeks.

CoST – the Infrastructure Transparency Initiative is the leading global initiative improving transparency and accountability in public infrastructure.

CoST works with government, industry and civil society to promote the disclosure of infrastructure project data. It validates and makes this data easy to understand through an assurance process and ensures this information reaches citizens. This helps to empower citizens to demand better infrastructure and hold decision makers to account.

In 2015, the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) launched a Collective Action project in Indonesia with support from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and in partnership with the NGO Kemitraan.

Indonesia had been identified as a corruption hotspot among MACN member companies calling port in the country. The overall objective of the Collective Action was to increase the transparency of port operations, remove trade barriers such as facilitation payments, and increase the ease of doing business for British, international, and local businesses operating in Indonesia.

OpenOwnership's central goal is to build an open Global Beneficial Ownership Register which will serve as an authoritative source of data about who owns companies, for the benefit of all.

OpenOwnership will collect and link together beneficial ownership data sets from across the world as well as self-disclosed corporate data to enable companies and investors to more easily see who they are really doing business with. It will provide an opportunity for companies to distinguish themselves as leaders in transparency and openness by disclosing their own ownership on the platform.
