Established in 2010 by eight prominent business organisations in Thailand, the Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption (CAC) includes over 1400 member companies today. Thai CAC operates with three core missions. Firstly, it strives to build a substantial community of ethical and transparent businesses, encompassing both large listed companies and SMEs. Secondly, Thai CAC focuses on enhancing companies’ compliance standards to minimize corruption risks. Lastly, it collaborates to reform public services, enhancing their efficiency and transparency.

The impact of Thai CAC’s endeavors is evident in changes across businesses. A no-gift policy, for example, has been widely adopted by not only private sector but also SOEs. As a Collective Action, Thai CAC’s influence extends nationally and internationally. The organization shares success stories to inspire others, fostering involvement in anti-corruption initiatives.

MACN (Maritime Anti-Corruption Network) is a global maritime industry association dedicated to eradicating corruption in the maritime industry. With the membership and support of around 200 international maritime value-chain companies, MACN promotes fair trade by advocating compliance with anti-corruption laws and business integrity. It collaborates with various stakeholders, including public sector, private sector, maritime training institutions, maritime MOUs and media, to combat corruption.

MACN-India, launched in July 2022, operates a high-tech 24x7 multilingual Helpdesk supporting vessel arrivals in Indian ports and resolving corruption incidents. An interactive e-dashboard provides data insights for interventions, and the organization submits policy proposals for systemic changes to the government. The Steering Committee ensures industry feedback, and an outreach campaign fosters collective action stakeholders support for clean port experiences through meetings, webinars etc. All the maritime corruption incidents reported to it have been successfully resolved within about 4 hours of reporting. MACN-India is also receiving numerous feedback e-mails from vessel masters about their positive port user experiences now.

Founded four years ago, the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) emerged as a collective action focused on enhancing sustainability and ethical practices within the natural rubber industry. Starting as an idea championed by several companies and NGOs, GPSNR has now enlisted almost 60% of the global natural rubber value chain as members.

Given that a substantial 85% of global natural rubber originates from smallholders in Asia, GPSNR recognizes the pressing need for sustainable practices. Their mission centers on elevating both the socioeconomic and environmental aspects of the natural rubber value chain. Member companies are committed to the GPSNR Policy Framework, which embeds principles supporting ecosystems, human rights, community well-being, and production efficiency. The initiative also places a strong emphasis on supply chain transparency and is developing systems for thorough assessment and traceability.
