Compliance Without Borders (CWB) is an innovative collective action initiative of the OECD built on the premise of the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises which state that SOEs should observe the same high standards of transparency, disclosure and anti-corruption compliance as listed companies. This initiative is a hands-on way of implementing the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises and the OECD Guidelines on Anti-Corruption and Integrity in State-Owned Enterprises by bringing together SOEs and private companies to exchange knowledge and build capacity in the areas of anti-corruption and compliance. This peer-to-peer knowledge exchange delivers practical improvements in SOEs through virtual, short-term, and pro-bono meetings with compliance experts from multi-national enterprises.
Compliance Without Borders was developed in 2018 under the B20 Presidency of Argentina and highlighted as a best practice by successive B20 Presidencies (e.g Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia).
