Nordic Integrity Talks

How to fight corruption in a national, global and high-risk business context? This webinar series explores the issue from a Nordic perspective.

About the series

How can businesses strengthen trust and resilience by putting anti-corruption at the core of their operations? How can companies operating in relatively low-corruption societies prepare for higher risks in global markets? What can high-profile Nordic corruption cases teach us about vulnerabilities closer to home?  

This webinar series hosted by UNGC Sweden, together with the networks of Finland and Ukraine, will explore corruption in Sweden and in international business, as well as the challenges of operating in high-risk contexts. 

During the series you will: 

  • Gain practical insights on tackling corruption in national, global, and high-risk business contexts. 
  • Strengthen resilience and learn how to move from commitments to effective compliance programs. 
  • Connect and network with experts and peers to share experiences and possible solutions. 
  • Align with global frameworks and standards, including the UN Global Compact’s 10th principle on anti-corruption. 

The series is open to all and aimed especially at company representatives working with compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In both Sweden and Finland, day-to-day corruption is virtually non-existent and there is a high level of trust between citizens and public administration. However, both countries have had some high-profile legal cases related to national or international corruption. Both countries have also a significant number of international companies that operate in global markets, with a higher risk of corruption. 

    Corruption undermines trust, limits investment opportunities, and slows down sustainable development. For companies, implementing robust anti-corruption measures, including compliance with national legislation and international standards, is critical to safeguard investments, maintain operational integrity, and ensure legal compliance. 

    Despite different contexts, our shared goal is clear: fostering a culture of zero tolerance for corruption and transparency across borders. 

  • The webinar series is free of charge and open to all. It is aimed especially at company representatives working with compliance. 

  • You’re very welcome to join either of the sessions that interest you most – but there’s no requirement to attend both. However, we warmly encourage it, as each event builds on the other, and together they give a fuller picture of the topic.
