The growing shift in corporate governance requires organizations to break down silos and create more deliberate alignment and collaboration across critical functions, including ESG/sustainability, public affairs, risk, ethics, human resources and compliance. This necessitates a stronger focus on the “G” in ESG.

Following interviews with experts from the Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) and the Global Future Council on Transparency and Anti-Corruption, this paper explores how leading organizations are reimagining structures, culture and engagement to support such ongoing transformation – specifically, the rise of the chief integrity officer.
