This milestone event not only marks International Anticorruption Day, but it also honors 15 years of advancing integrity compliance as a cornerstone of sustainable private sector development under the World Bank Group’s Sanctions System. It highlights the transformative role of integrity compliance in driving sustainable development.
At a time when ethical business practices are critical for sustainable job creation, this event showcases how integrity compliance has evolved from a regulatory obligation into a catalyst of private sector growth, increased market access, and job opportunities. It also commemorates 15 years of the establishment of the World Bank Group Integrity Compliance Office, the adoption of incorporating integrity conditions into sanctions, and the Multilateral Development Bank’s cross-debarment agreement – all of which have played a pivotal role in shaping global standards for ethical business conduct.
Through keynote remarks, an engaging fireside chat, and insightful expert panels, participants will explore:
- The evolution and impact of the World Bank Group Sanctions System over the past 15 years
- How integrity compliance helps drive private sector growth, job creation, and greater access to capital and markets
- Practical examples of companies leveraging integrity compliance to scale operations and create jobs
- The launch of the revised World Bank Group Integrity Compliance Guidelines and how the Integrity Compliance Knowledge Sharing Platform supports global implementation
Join us as we celebrate the achievements of the past, reaffirm our shared commitment to transparency and accountability, and highlight how anticorruption frameworks have helped unlock investment, build trust, and foster inclusive economic opportunities.
