The Brazilian Global Compact Network launched the “Caderno do Pacto - Anticorrupção”. The objective is to share the actions of the Pact to support companies in the adoption and maintenance of compliance and anti-corruption. For the head of Anticorruption and Transparency of the UN Global Compact, Olajobi Makinwa, corruption is the misuse of a trusted power, almost always motivated by greed. She states that the practice is not exclusive to the public authorities, as many companies instigate and participate in this type of misdemeanor. The notebook was developed by the thematic group Anticorruption of the Brazilian Network of the Global Compact, coordinated by Olga Pontes, from Braskem. "The material is innovative and intends to inform and provoke companies to create actions that combat any type of distortion of ethics", he says.

The “Notebook of the Pact - Anticorruption” devotes a complete chapter to the Anticorruption Law and presents a test to assess whether the company acts in a way that gives rise to illicit practices. Another chapter is dedicated to compliance policies and addresses the benefits of adopting them. The material serves both for companies that already adopt the practices to update themselves in the debate and for those that intend to create actions that curb corruption. Download here.
