Partnership terms

Partnership relations with state-owned companies

State companies are eligible to participate in the Network Partnership Program.
The objective of collaboration with state companies under the Partner Program is the collective preparation of the company for Network membership and the establishment of future cooperation in corruption prevention. This includes the promotion of integrity and compliance practices within the company and to external audiences.

State companies in the process of corporatization—with an independent supervisory board and an established compliance function, or those planning to establish one—can become partners of the Network. To participate in the UNIC Partner Program, a state-owned company must demonstrate comprehensive support from senior management and confirm the implementation of anti-corruption legislation standards in internal processes.

Steps to participate in the Network's Affiliate Program:
1. Apply for partnership by completing a self-assessment questionnaire on the UNIC website.
2. Undergo a check based on open sources for the last 2 years, with the opportunity for commentary in case of negative information about the company.
3. Develop a partnership plan, usually for two years.
4. Review the application and obtain approval from the Executive Committee, including approval of the partnership plan and determination of the partnership contribution amount.
5. Sign the Memorandum for preparation for membership in UNIC.
6. Payment of the partnership fee.
Upon successful implementation of the UNIC Partner Program, state-owned companies can apply for membership in UNIC, subject to passing an external assessment and confirmation of the company's readiness for membership by compliance experts engaged by the Network.
