This 2025 update of the original report titled Clean business is good business: The business case against corruption serves as a call to action from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and Transparency International, urging all businesses to keep integrity at the top of the agenda and emphasising that doing the right thing matters now more than ever.
In the nearly two decades since the original publication was issued, the world has changed, and the global operating environment for companies has evolved dramatically.
While fighting corruption remains a central aim to advance sustainable development, it has also become one pillar across integrated business functions for sustainability, supply chain responsibility and human rights.
In today’s interconnected world, geopolitical tensions are fragmenting regulatory cooperation, leading to increased complexity and unpredictability for companies operating internationally and SMEs.
Against this backdrop, it is imperative for businesses of any size to reaffirm that, despite these tensions, indeed perhaps even because of them, the case for doing business with integrity is stronger than ever.
