The portal www.business-anti-corruption.com is designed as a “one-stop-shop” for companies in their fight against corruption.
The main features of the portal are as follows:
Country profiles with detailed information on corruption divided by economic sectors
Due diligence tools on how to avoid corruption
Tools for Integrity in how to formulate a Company Code of Conduct on Corruption and how to establish company procedures for internal reporting and training
Links to local and international organisations which can assist companies on how to avoid corruption

The Portal is financed by Danida’s fund for Public Private Partnerships. It has been developed in cooperation with Transparency International and the consultancy company Global Advice Network.
The Portal has already been recognized widely by the international community. It has been made available to UN’s Global Compact initiative and will be presented to OECD later this year.
