A virtual roundtable to review action taken by African companies to promote corporate anti-bribery policies and related compliance measures is being hosted by African Development Bank (AfDB) and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The event will take place as part of the 2021 OECD Business Integrity Roundtable Series.
The discussions will build on the OECD/African Development Bank joint initiative to support business integrity and anti-bribery efforts in Africa(link is external) and the Anti-Bribery Policy and Compliance Guidance for African Companies.
The session will bring together private sector representatives from African and OECD countries, including delegates of business associations and international companies, to dialogue and share experiences. Participants will also include international and regional experts.
OECD and AfDB are inviting interested parties to join this discussion on how integrity and strong compliance frameworks can help businesses reduce their integrity risks, enhance attractiveness to investors, and positively impact the future of markets and society.
The event will be held in English. French interpretation services will be available.
