A staggering €990 billion challenge: master anti-corruption compliance with clear, essential tools to ensure ethics and legal integrity.
According to the European Parliament, corruption in Europe could amount to over €990 billion. This issue remains a central concern, as highlighted by the recent proposal for a European directive submitted in May. The directive aims to establish corporate criminal liability for offences committed for the benefit of legal persons, and to create specific sanction lists targeting acts of corruption. These legislative developments represent a major shift and will trigger a wave of new regulations across the EU.
In this context, the Code de la lutte contre la corruption emerges as a vital tool for anyone responsible for ensuring compliance and promoting ethical standards within their organisation. Faced with increasing regulation and complex economic, competitive, and international pressures, businesses must navigate these obligations while managing costs and risks. It is therefore essential to rely on clear and accessible reference materials.
This book is designed for a wide range of stakeholders — from the private and public sectors, including financial and industrial companies, to consulting firms and law practices. It compiles all relevant international, regional, and national anti-corruption texts in one comprehensive reference.
