“Resisting Extortion in International Business Activities”
February 20, 2025  12:30-13:30 CET

Swiss Company’s international business activities are exposed to certain risks on the compliance and bribery front. The disruptions resulting from an Unstable political context in each region are likely to increase institutional weaknesses and bribery exposure. Despite robust compliance programs addressing corruption, companies report that they continue to face undue solicitations, some of which can qualify as extortion. Under this through-provoking statement, we will explore some practical approach, including in the Eurasia Region, to identify those risks and define appropriate measure to address them effectively.
