Business Case for Integrity

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the UN Global Compact and Transparency International have launched yesterday the “Business Case for Integrity”.

The Business Case sets out how the business drive for integrity is more important than ever in times of geopolitical tensions and uncertainty. 

The text sets out that companies doing business with integrity:

• ensure business resilience           
• enhance corporate value
• strengthen responsible supply chains
• drive investor confidence
• facilitate business opportunities 
• attract principled and purpose-driven talent
• contribute to long-term, sustainable growth

The report also highlights catalysts for integrity, from the responsible use of AI for integrity to the power of collective action. It underscores that in times of uneven regulatory enforcement, the private sector must rise to the occasion - not merely to comply - but to lead.
