State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) are at the centre of current international attention. With news of SOE corruption cases making headlines over the past years (Petrobras, Telia), the international policy community has made integrity in SOEs a clear priority. This workshop will serve as
the platform to discuss recommendations for government, business and civil society to improve integrity and transparency of SOEs. The discussion will concretely feed into the OECD and G20 processes, amongst others, in developing international guidance for governments on integrity and anti-corruption in their SOE sectors. At the same time, it will showcase practical examples from around the world on how SOEs can stay free from corruption and better fulfil their purpose of acting for the public good. The workshop is hosted by three organisations that have made significant contributions to the topic: the EBRD, Transparency International and the OECD who has led the SOE discourse for many years.
