[ap-intact] INFO: UN Global Compact India Publication -- Business Case for Anticorruption in India

[Facilitator's note: Thank you to Shabnam Siddiqui, Centre of Excellence for Transparency and Ethics in Business, UN Global Compact Network India, for sharing this information.]

Dear colleagues,

Global Compact Network India's Collective Action Project (India) launched its final publication titled “Business Case for Anticorruption in India: Principles, Economics and Application of Transparency Tools” in Mumbai on February 06, 2015. This book is the third and final publication of the Collective Action Project (CAP) India completing the trilogy of books on anticorruption work vis-à-vis business in India.

The first book titled “Raising the Bar through Collective Action”, captured the anti-graft polices practiced by companies. The second book “Understanding the Demand and Supply Equations of Corruption and Fraud” showcased the fraud and bribery scenario in India for a period of fifteen years along with the tools available to counter graft. The third and final publication Business Case for Anticorruption in India: Principles, Economics and Application of Transparency Tools quantifies the gains that a business accrues by implementing anti-graft policies in its operations. It is for the first time that examples on a business case for anticorruption are presented by companies headquartered in an emerging market, in this case India.

The Business Case for Anticorruption publication is evidence of the journey of Indian businesses with the Global Compact Network India's Collective Action Project since 2011. From a time when companies were hesitant to speak to each other around transparency issues, to having the confidence to share economics of transparency tools, CAP India's stakeholders have come a long way. The publication is the first essential step towards scaling up of the collective action agenda in India and the region.

The publication is available for download and sharing at http://www.slideshare.net/GlobalCompact/anticorruption-publication-13215?ref=http://globalcompact.in/publications/

Feedback and responses are welcome.

Sincere regards,

Shabnam Siddiqui
