The World Economic Forum's Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) brings together companies from multiple industries to counter corruption and bribery. It is based on chief executive officer (CEO) commitments to the PACI Principles for Countering Bribery, which call for the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy on corruption and the implementation of an anti-corruption program guiding the behavior of employees, agents, suppliers, contractors, and joint venture partners.
Our commitment to the initiative is underwritten by the Ethical Principles of the DTTL member firms. The nine principles offer guidance about appropriate ethical and professional conduct in areas that are critically important to DTTL, its member firms, and the member firms' clients, people, and communities in which they operate. In April 2011, DTTL Chairman of the Board, Steve Almond joined the PACI Board for a one-year term.
