Dear Participant,
Thank you for participating in the World Economic Forum’s project "Building Foundations Against Corruption" survey.
Launched at the Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, January 2014, the project includes Forum partner companies involved in the engineering, construction and real estate industries, and is conducted in collaboration with the Forum's Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI).
This survey tool is designed to capture views on the most important corruption risks and those priority areas where the community might work together to improve anti-corruption and transparency efforts, together with other stakeholders, including governments and civil society.
This survey is aimed at the Chief Compliance Officer or equivalent expert functions, and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We suggest that it be completed in one session.
The World Economic Forum is the sole owner of the survey data and it will not be used other than in aggregated, anonymized form, without the express consent of the respondent.
For any questions, please contact Michael Max Buehler at [email protected]. Please note the survey will close on 15 August at 12:00 PM EDT or 6:00 PM CEDT time.
Thank you for your valuable support and we look forward to working with you.
