One Click: Introduction to corruption avoidance to increased income and reduced risk
In the complex landscape of international trade, corruption poses significant risks to businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The workshop will focus on business in or between challenging countries and aims to introduce SMEs to the potential to increase their income long-term, to reduce their risks - by avoiding corruption. It will also show chambers how to increase their income and standing, gain new members by helping their company members to avoid corruption.
This presentation will show practical examples from high-risk countries and how a change of behavior reduces risks and increases profits. By understanding corruption-avoidance practices, SMEs can mitigate risks, enhance their credibility, and foster a culture of ethical business conduct.
