Governments don’t only want to prosecute companies for paying bribes. Increasingly, they are looking for companies to join with them to reduce the global challenge of corruption.

To learn more we spoke with Shruti Shah, Senior Policy Advisor, Office of Coordinator on Global Anti-Corruption at the US Department of State. In this podcast she outlines several initiatives in which the business community can play an important role, working alongside state actors and organizations like the OECD. These include:

Blue Dot Network

Galvanizing the Public Sector GPS initiative

CIPE's PROTECT program on critical minerals

USAID's JET Minerals Challenge

USAID's Doing Business with Integrity

All of these programs have in common a desire to engage all the parties interested in reducing corruption, particularly in the developing world. As importantly, they reflect a growing recognition that the business community is a part of the solution.

Listen in to learn more about what each of these initiatives are and how you can become a part of them.
