Description

1.1 The UK government wants to improve its offer to businesses seeking to succeed in emerging markets like Pakistan. As part of this effort, the UK's Prime Minister announced the Business Integrity Initiative last year, which provides practical guidance on issues such as bribery and human rights concerns to help businesses trade with and invest in new markets. This support helps firms protect and strengthen brand reputation, enjoy more sustainable commercial success, and minimise the risk of prosecution. It is based on the requests from over 100 companies consulted in 2017/2018 as part of the initiative's scoping phase.
