The Anti-Corruption Leaders Hub62 (ACLH) is a multi-stakeholder community that provides a platform for executive-level managers, alongside government leaders and civil society champions, to advance innovative solutions to engrained and emerging corruption challenges. The ACLH has been developed by the OECD in coordination with the United States Department of State. The ACLH promotes anti- corruption efforts and shapes international, regional, national, and sectorial anti-corruption agendas. Together, this collective action reinforces international efforts to curb bribery, promote business integrity and responsible influence, and contribute to a level playing field.
As part of the Global Initiative to Galvanize the Private Sector (GPS), the ACLH oversees a number of technical workstreams that advance anti-corruption reforms in core priority areas, including:
- Promoting corporate anti-corruption compliance through government incentivesand assessment63 by sharing challenges and good practices when governments incentivize corporate anti-corruption compliance programmes.
- Trusted dialogue series: On getting influence right64, to discuss key political engagement issues facing relevant sectors, identify core principles of responsible corporate political engagement, and develop implementation guidelines on responsible political engagement for the private sector.
- Compliance Without Borders65, aimed at building anti-corruption capacity in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) through short-term secondments of compliance experts to SOEs.
- Business integrity & supply chain risks66 aimed at defining practical steps business and governments can take to increase integrity in supply chains behind government contracts.
Going forward, ACLH members will focus on issues such as strengthening compliance functions; leveraging responsible business conduct (RBC) tools to respond to integrity risks; strengthening the use of technology for preventing, detecting, and responding to integrity risks; supporting government capacity for assessing and accounting for corporate anti-corruption compliance measures and programmes; and implementing anti-corruption in infrastructure.
