UNDP’s B+RH Transparency and Accountability programme promotes business integrity and increased transparency in companies in the region. Increasingly, large companies are called upon to ensure integrity and compliance in their operations and supply chains. Governments and the private sector are jointly responsible for minimizing the negative impacts of corruption in achieving sustainable development. By leveraging UNDP’s work with governments on these issues, UNDP’s B+RH Transparency and Accountability programme can bring greater added value to businesses seeking to improve their business integrity. Please note that this toolkit has not been piloted yet. It is anticipated to be piloted in Malaysia by July 2020.
