La Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas en el Proceso Electoral

Abstract

"What is the role of the private sector when it comes to the political financing debate? This publication represents a guide for any company concerned about its role in political financing and the impact of its donations on a country’s democractic procedures. The guide was prepared in the specific context of the 2008 muncipal elections in Brazil, but serves as a useful point of reference for any instance in which the private sector finances elections. The manual also contains examples of how the Business Principles for Countering Bribery and the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption, elaborated by the Instituto Ethos in 2006, can be employed in order to create greater transparency with regards to private sector involvement in electoral processes."
