Description
Bribery solicitation impacts businesses worldwide, giving rise to legal risks and operational delays.
This technical workshop will explore how ACLH member companies can safely and effectively report instances of bribery solicitation. Companies will exchange best practices on how to minimize business impact and how governments can better support companies facing bribery solicitation incidents.
This workstream will draw on prior OECD work in this area and the key provisions of the 2021 OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation section on “addressing the demand side".
