Their voluntary acceptance by Enterprises will promote high standards of integrity in business transactions, whether between Enterprises and public bodies or between Enterprises themselves. These Rules play an important role in assisting Enterprises to comply with their legal obligations and with the numerous anti-corruption initiatives at the international level. They also provide an appropriate basis for resisting attempts at extortion or solicitation of bribes. These Rules are of a general nature constituting what is considered good commercial practice. They reflect, and should be read in accordance with the key international legal instruments listed in Appendix A. All Enterprises should conform to the applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which they are established and where they operate, and should observe both the letter and the spirit of these Rules.Pages: 18engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercode of ethicscode of conductcompliance practicesICC Guidelinesself-regulationanti-corruption initiativesbribesPolitical ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsBook
