Corruption continues to corrode the global economy, 18 years after member governments of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) signed a convention1 that establishes legally binding standards to criminalize the bribery of public officials. Since then, a growing number of governments have passed anti-bribery and corruption (ABC) laws. The U.S. is no longer the lone policeman on the beat; the UK and other European governments have implemented anti-corruption regulations too, as have emerging economies including China and Brazil.
Despite tougher enforcement of regulations to combat bribery and corruption, illicit payments to counter-parties continue to burden economies, diverting resources from people and places where they could do most good. In 2013 the World Bank estimated2 that the amount of bribes worldwide totals $1 trillion a year. Companies may consider themselves sandwiched between counter-parties asking for bribes and regulations attempting to curb the practice, but this would be a mistake. Rather than succumbing to a sense of victimhood, every company needs to ask itself some fundamental questions about why they are in business and what it‘s going to take to conduct business ethically everywhere.
