Description

The COVID-19 crisis has exposed companies to increased risks and compliances challenges, and compliance officers are learning to navigate a new operating environment and business landscape. This second session of the OECD Business Integrity Roundtable will provide an opportunity for the private sector, including members of the Trust in Business Network operating in ethics and compliance functions, to discuss what concrete programs, corporate policies, incentives, and collective actions can be developed to promote cultures of integrity for a more resilient future. This session will focus on the practical implementation of these issues and the role of international Organisations, including the OECD, in promoting drivers, incentives, and enforcement of trusted solutions. In the closing segment, Mr. Drago Kos, the Chair of the OECD Working Group on Bribery, will reflect on the business integrity trends and standards, challenges and opportunities for better compliance. He will discuss how the Business Integrity Roundtable can provide a platform for follow-up work led by the OECD and its partners.
