RESIST ( Resisting Extortions and Solicitations in International Transactions) was jointly developed by Transparency International (TI), the World Economic Forum Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and the UN Global Compact (GC). Primarily a training tool to help employees counter solicitation and extortion demands in the most efficient and ethical manner, acknowledging they might be accompanied by a threat, RESIST also aims to help companies reduce the probability of such demands being made. Over 20 companies and organisations contributed to designing RESIST, based on 21 real-life scenarios of solicitation and extortion demands.

TI has also published the 2009 edition of its Business Principles for Countering Bribery. An effective and practical tool for companies dealing with the challenge and risks posed by bribery, the tool reflects recent developments in anti-bribery practice worldwide and incorporates approaches by business, academia and civil society.

The 2009 edition places greater emphasis on public reporting of anti-bribery systems and in recommending that enterprises commission external verification or assurance of their anti-bribery programme.

Originally published in 2003, the Business Principles have been adopted by many leading companies around the world to benchmark their own anti-bribery policies, as well as being used by such global frameworks as the UN Global Compact and the WEF’s Partnering against Corruption Initiative.
