How to fight corruption in a national, global and high-risk business context? This three-part event series explores the issue from a Nordic perspective.
In both Finland and Sweden, day-to-day corruption is virtually non-existent and there is a high level of trust between citizens and public administration. However, both countries have had some high-profile legal cases related to national or international corruption. Both countries have also a significant number of international companies that operate in global markets, with a higher risk of corruption.
Corruption undermines trust, limits investment opportunities, and slows down sustainable development. For companies, implementing robust anti-corruption measures, including compliance with national legislation and international standards, is critical to safeguard investments, maintain operational integrity, and ensure legal compliance.
Despite different contexts, our shared goal is clear: fostering a culture of zero tolerance for corruption and transparency across borders.
The event series is free of charge and open to all. It is aimed especially at company representatives working with compliance.
The first Finnish event is held in person at Alvar Aallon katu 5 C, 00100 Helsinki. Parts 2 and 3 are held virtually on Zoom.
You’re very welcome to join any of the sessions that interest you most – but there is no requirement to attend all three. However, we do warmly encourage it, as each event builds on the other and together they give a fuller picture of the topic.
The event series is organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice of Finland as part of the project ‘Strengthening the Fight against Corruption’ (co-funded by the European Union).
Linda Piirto (Lead, Supply Chains & Governance) is happy to help you with any questions you may have.
