Mr. Pham Anh Duong, TT’s Business Integrity Manager introducing framework of the collective action that helps businesses enhance management of integrity issues.

Mr. Pham Anh Duong, TT’s Business Integrity Manager, shared a metaphorical story of a successful corn farmer who was willing to share “good corn seeds” with his neighbors so that het got productive crop with high quality pollens. That conveyed a very strong message of how practicing and promoting integrity would help cultivate a clean and fair business environment.

The project “Collective action on promoting business integrity in SHTP” was also reported by HTV (the television of Hochiminh City) as an established example of good practice in business ethics. See the clip below.
