The SHINE project aimed at initiating Collective Action between foreign and local businesses in order to support fair market conditions. The Integrity Initiative encouraged companies to commit to having no tolerance for corruption, and to sustainable development.

The projects objectives were to:

  • Develop a unified ‘Business Code of Conduct’ as a standard for both local and foreign business entities.
  • Create an ‘Industry Integrity Pact’ with control measures to ensure transparency and integrity in business transactions.
  • Develop products to establish integrity practices as the basis for an audit and certification program for participating companies.
  • Institutionalize the entire process to promote the sustainability of the Integrity Initiative over a 4-year period.

Stakeholders

The project was implemented by the Makati Business Club (MBC) in cooperation with the European Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
