Collective Action Hub

Bringing together businesses and other stakeholders to tackle corruption

Collective Action is a collaborative approach to addressing shared corruption challenges. It brings together diverse stakeholders from across society to achieve common goals, such as:

raising standards of integrity and fair competition across industries locally and worldwide
developing best practice self-regulatory standards within specific industry sectors
solving systemic issues related to bribery and corruption
enhancing conditions for fair competition and levelling the playing field between competitors

Since the Basel Institute’s inception, we have facilitated multiple Collective Action initiatives and provided expert advice to governments, companies, business associations, NGOs and multi-stakeholder groups worldwide.

Collective Action Conference

Every two years, we organise the only global conference dedicated to advance Collective Action. It gathers leaders from business, civil society, government and academia who are strongly committed to making markets fairer and more transparent.

The focus remains on what Collective Action looks like in practice, the factors that drive its success and how multi-stakeholder approaches help organisations respond more effectively to global business challenges.

Collective Action Awards

Each year, the Basel Institute, together with a specialist jury and a public vote, identifies and celebrates initiatives that are advancing Collective Action in the categories:

Gretta Fenner Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action, awarded to initiatives that can already demonstrate a tangible contribution to preventing corruption or improving market conditions.
Collective Action Inspirational Newcomer, awarded to initiatives that have been operating for less than two years and demonstrate significant potential for impact.

The winning initiatives are honoured with the prestigious Collective Action Awards.
