Commitment
to Anti-Corruption
We, Tilleke
& Gibbins, support the multi-industry and multi-national
anti-corruption initiative to strengthen efforts to counter
bribery and corruption. This initiative was launched by the
Engineering & Construction, Energy, and Mining & Metals
Governors of the World Economic Forum, in cooperation with
Transparency International and the Basel Institute on Governance.
We support the Partnering
Against Corruption - Principles for Countering Bribery ("Principles"),
derived from Transparency International's Business Principles
for Countering Bribery. These Principles call for a commitment
to two fundamental actions:
- A zero-tolerance policy towards
bribery, and
- Development of a practical and effective
implementation program.
Our support means that we will either
implement anti-bribery and -corruption practices based on
these Principles or use them to benchmark and improve our
existing programs so that they achieve the objectives of the
Principles.
We believe that widespread adoption
of these Principles will raise business standards across the
world and contribute to the goals of good governance and economic
development.
We therefore aim to obtain industry-wide
support for this Initiative.
