Business Integrity in High-tech Parks in Vietnam: a Survey Report
 |
Hanoi, 14 August 2018. Towards Transparency launched a survey report of “Business integrity in high-tech parks in Vietnam”, providing a snapshot of bribery challenges faced by companies in the high-tech parks located in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as the measures put in place to mitigate these risks.The survey results suggest that companies operating in an environment promoting integrity can avoid or limit their engagement in bribery. Indeed, all companies interviewed recognized that such an environment exists in the three high tech parks, where Boards of Management took initiatives in streamlining administrative procedures and supporting companies in dealing with bribery. The survey also shows that differences in size and origin of companies affect the way corruption risks are tackled. Foreign companies are more experienced with regard to ethics and compliance policies, while most local companies still lag behind, but are increasingly interested to develop internal compliance systems.The survey report also provides recommendations to the high-tech parks’ Boards of Management and their tenant companies on how to further build a business integrity culture, emphasizing that high-tech parks’ experience could be replicated elsewhere in Vietnam. |

The Media plays a critical role in anti – corruption. Through exposing incidences of corruption, monitoring government efforts to combat corruption and providing the public with a forum to discuss corruption, the media serves as an important intermediary to keep people informed and the government accountable.This study was commissioned by Transparency International (TI) and Towards Transparency (TT) in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the British Government in Vietnam. Building on a previous piece of research produced in 2009 by UNDP, this study analyses media coverage of corruption across seven major newspapers from 2006 to 2011 |
