Bribery in international business

The OECD fights bribery in international business to strengthen development, reduce poverty and bolster confidence in markets. The keystone to these efforts is the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and the 2021 Anti-Bribery Recommendation.

This OECD-hosted forum is the premium annual public event on integrity and anti-corruption worldwide. The 2023 edition took place on 24-25 May under the theme "Action to impact: Working together to strengthen integrity and fight corruption".

International co-operation among like-minded countries is crucial for addressing many of today’s crises - the Russian aggression against Ukraine, rising inflation, deepening food and energy insecurity, and accelerating climate change. Corruption and a lack of integrity can be found at the core of many of these challenges, and exacerbate their effects on citizens, business, and government. Tackling issues such as the mismanagement of public funds, international bribery, tax fraud, and opaque lobbying practices will require both the public and private sectors to stand firm and work together. We need actions that translate into impact; solutions that serve the people, not just a select few.
