About the Event:

This session aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) and UNGC Principle 10 (Anti-Corruption). It emphasizes collective action as a transformative approach to strengthening governance and promoting ethical standards across key sectors. This session underscores the vital alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16)—dedicated to promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions—and UNGC Principle 10 on anti-corruption.
