“... as businesses with integrity, our corporate values must extend from within our office walls to our whole operations, value chains and investments.  Only then can we begin to build a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive ASEAN Community" Yanti Triwadiantini, Chair of the ASEAN CSR Network, elaborating on the aspiration of the Regional Working Group's initiative, "Integrity Has No Borders", at the 2014 Integrity Initiative in the Philippines

“Integrity Has No Borders” will be the first major advocacy campaign and collective action of the Regional Working Group to fight against corruption convened by us to be launched.

This initiative is part of the “Enabling Business Networks in ASEAN to Combat Corruption through Collective Action with the support of the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office (UK FCO), in line with the goals of ASEAN economic integration.

The goal is to create an enabling environment for companies to say “No” to corruption and bribery, regardless of where they are in ASEAN, paving the way for growth and progress.

The campaign will also underscore how integrity is a shared responsibility, thus regional cooperation and collective action are needed to champion transparency, governance, and anti-corruption practice as an important part of corporate culture.

The activities to be conducted will be designed to encourage greater collective action at both the national and regional levels.

The initiative will strengthen the effort of the Regional Working Group to promote business integrity and extend its far reaching effects on people, companies and communities.

As a regional association of business chambers and CSR organisations, our role is to help strengthen local stakeholders and support their work in corporate social responsibility advocacy, capacity-building and collective action.
