(4 August 2008) World Bank Institute Coalition Launches Business Guide on Fighting Corruption. Coordinated by the World Bank Institute, the coalition is made up of Grant Thornton member firms in Canada, UK and USA, Siemens, United Nations Global Compact, Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), Transparency International and Global Advice Network.

"The purpose of this guide is to establish a level playing field and assist firms who would otherwise have to abandon doing business in a corrupt environment", says Djordjija Petkoski, Programme Leader, WBI.. Equally, the guide should also be of interest to enlightened governments and other organisations which share the goals of eliminating corruption from business dealings."

This toolkit and interactive web portal provide multiple options to combat corporate corruption based on proven “how-to” examples from many regions and sectors. Cases from Ecuador, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan and other countries are detailed in the guide.
