PKN ORLEN against corruption
As one of 62 world companies, PKN ORLEN joined a move to fight corruption and bribery during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The support statement to the principles of The Partnering Against Corruption Initiative was signed by the president and CEO of PKN ORLEN Igor Chalupec.
The Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI), developed by leading CEOs from the World Economic Forum’s energy, engineering & construction, and mining & metals communities, in cooperation with Transparency International and the Basel Institute on Governance, was officially launched at the Annual Meeting in Davos in January 2004.
The PACI Principles are derived from Transparency International’s Business Principles for countering Bribery and call for two fundamental actions: a zero-tolerance policy towards bribery, and the development of a practical and effective implementation program.
The initiative seeks to offer a neutral platform enabling companies to consolidate their efforts to counter bribery and corruption and to extend the ongoing efforts to implement measures to fight corruption and bribery to a wider group of companies. It wants to communicate to a wider public the active commitment of leading companies to the principles of countering bribery and corruption. The Initiative further seeks to identify and implement mechanisms to turn the principles into a tangible instrument.
PACI wants to integrate anti-corruption experts, NGOs, international organizations and governments into the activities of the PACI in order to develop a wider and more comprehensive effort to fight corruption and bribery.
