Global Future Council on Transparency and Anti-corruption
Global Future Council on Transparency and Anti-corruption

Council mission and objectives
It is estimated that corruption costs the world economy 5% of GDP a year, equivalent to $3.6 trillion. There is an urgent imperative to collaborate towards greater integrity and ethical leadership. The Global Future Council on Transparency and Anti-Corruption has developed a forward-looking framework for business integrity, which supports and aligns with broader work to globally reset and embed a revised purpose of business based on a stakeholder economy. Building on this Agenda for Business Integrity, the council will continue to support global stakeholders to improve their integrity through an innovative playbook on the rise of the integrity officer and a deep dive into the role of investors on integrity. These deliverables aim to mobilize public and private sector leaders in delivering robust and responsible business conduct.
