Christine Hudetz from Transparency International Mongolia discussed Transparency International's approach to preventing private sector corruption. TI works at the environmental, industry, and individual business levels to strengthen integrity. TI has developed tools like the Business Principles for Countering Bribery and the Business Integrity Country Agenda to assess challenges and engage stakeholders. In Mongolia, the BCM Business Ethics Working Group was formed in 2016 to advance integrity among its members through activities, statements, and tools.
