🗣Speaker: Olajobi Makinwa, Chief, Intergovernmental Relations & Africa at UN Global Compact
While one company's actions can be significant, they are insufficient to end corruption entirely. Companies must work together with governments, community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other enterprises to combat corruption.
Collective Action allows companies to:
~Create deeper understanding of corruption issues
~Consolidate knowledge and financial and technical resources to achieve greater impact
~Develop solutions that are perceived as more credible, acceptable and are more sustainable
~Help ensure fair competition and a level playing field for all stakeholders
~Create a more stable and enabling business environment
~Compliment existing anti-corruption efforts in vulnerable regions and sectors, where industry or government-led regulations are not robust
The UN Global Compacts Networks are uniquely positioned to initiate and facilitate Collective Action at a local and national level. In her talk, Ms Makinwa will draw on her experiences at the UN for how corruption can be addressed through Collective Action.
