Fighting corruption does not seem to be a top priority in Switzerland. But in the international markets the rule of law and a corruption free business environment are essential elements of a level playing field for all companies.

How can companies find good practices to handle not only the legal requirements but shape a successful business model, respecting and promoting high ethical standards?

The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO, UN Global Compact Switzerland and the Basel Institute on Governance invite Participants and interested companies, organizations, and individuals to share their insights and good practices, articulate their needs for information, support, and exchange in peer-learning.
