Transforming Compliance: The Global Roadshow – Introducing the New UN Standard for Business Integrity

Online - Virtual event

Join the discussion online: 10 November 2026 | 16:00–17:00 CET

About the session

As part of a global series bringing the 2026 edition of An Anti-Corruption Ethics and Compliance Programme for Business: A Practical Guide (UN Global Compact and UNODC) to compliance communities around the world, Ethics & Compliance Switzerland and the United Nations Global Compact are convening this webinar to explore how the new edition responds to a rapidly evolving business integrity landscape.

The session will unpack the key developments in the new edition and what they mean for the evolution of compliance. A central focus will be Transformational Governance: how companies can move beyond a purely rules-based or risk-mitigation approach and position integrity and compliance as drivers of trust, resilience and long-term value. Corporate practitioners will connect these developments to real-world practice.

Why attend

  • Discover what’s new in the first full update of this UN guide since 2013, developed together with leading companies through the UN Global Compact Think Lab for Business Integrity
  • Understand how “transformational governance” helps companies move beyond box-ticking compliance and make integrity a source of resilience, trust and long-term value in an increasingly uncertain business environment
  • Get practical insights on the issues shaping compliance today: artificial intelligence, the link between integrity and sustainability, and extending ethical standards to business partners and SMEs across the value chain
  • Hear first-hand from companies that helped shape the new guide and are putting its approach into practice
