This Collective Action initiative aims to support companies in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) to work collectively to proactively manage risks, promote integrity and safeguard their businesses, through a shared commitment to business ethics.

This initiative brings together companies to promote transparency and integrity through the signing of an agreement and provides a space for companies to report on the actions that they undertake to address corruption risks. It features three main components:

The aim of the project is to influence the behavior of business leaders, government representatives and students across the Gulf Region. It works through education and incentivization, and by building a local community that is sharing good integrity practices, leading the way in the implementation of better standards, and actively encouraging others to do so.
