The development of the Business Principles for Countering Bribery (BPCB), introduced in December 2002, was spearheaded by Transparency International in co-operation with Social Accountability International.
The Business Principles are the product of a cooperative effort of a Steering Committee drawn from companies, academia, trade unions and non-governmental bodies. The Business Principles provide a model for companies seeking to adopt a comprehensive anti-bribery programme. We encourage companies to consider using the Business Principles as a starting point for developing their own anti-bribery programmes or as a benchmark for existing ones.
To support the users of the Business Principles, TI has produced a suite of tools, including a comprehensive Guidance Document which provides additional background and practical information for those wishing to implement the Business Principles or review their own anti-bribery processes. The TI Six Step Implementation Process is a how-to guide for companies that are early on in the process of devising and implementing an anti-bribery programme. TI is also developing a Self-Evaluation Module to assist companies wishing to assess their anti-bribery performance. The Business Principles project is managed by a TI Secretariat based in Berlin, London and Washington, DC.
