"Corruption has negative impacts on every aspect of society" –  United Nations. Today, we shine a light on Anti-Corruption Day, emphasizing the importance of fostering integrity and trust in corporate environments.
 
In times of global challenges, corporate leaders play a crucial role in steering clear of malpractices. Upholding ethical standards not only aligns with societal values but also proves to be a strategic investment. A reliable solution for businesses navigating this landscape is a comprehensive Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) program.
 
For insights on implementing a robust ABC program that ensures ethical business practices, explore our white paper.: https://lnkd.in/ey_6PX9h

Yesterday, we shared a couple of reasons why employees might hesitate to speak-up and not having the option to report misconduct anonymously is one of them. These 5 reasons will convince your company to implement an anonymous whistleblowing channel:

1. Anonymity lowers the inhibition threshold for whistleblowers.
2. 1/3 of whistleblowers choose to disclose their identity during the subsequent investigation.
3. It breaks down barriers & encourages people to come forward.
4. Anonymous whistleblowing has no influence on the proportion of abusive reports.
5. Digital tools allow 2-way follow-up communications.
