On 29 May in Kyiv, UNIC inaugurated Integrity Month — an annual initiative that for the fifth time has brought together business, local authorities, civil society, and the expert community to discuss integrity-driven practices.

UNIC, together with the OECD, continues to systematically conduct awareness-raising events for businesses – in particular, for business associations that play a key role in disseminating information about international anti-corruption standards among Ukrainian companies.

The Ukrainian Network of Integrity and Compliance (UNIC), together with the civil society coalition RISE Ukraine, calls on Members of Parliament not to adopt draft law No. 11533 in its current version. Adoption of this law would significantly restrict access to vital information, jeopardizing Ukraine’s European integration path, transparent reconstruction, public oversight, and the fight against corruption abuses that may arise during post-war recovery.

UNIC Academy opens registration for the three-day course “Compliance Intensive” — a training program created by leading compliance professionals for practitioners to cover the most in-demand topics and present the most relevant case studies.

The Ukrainian business community proves every day that transparency, compliance, and accountability are the keys to long-term success. The UNIC Business Reputation and Integrity Award was created to recognize projects that implement best practices of ethical business conduct and set an example for others.

During the event “International Standards of Corporate Liability for Corruption Offenses: Challenges and Prospects for Implementation in Ukraine,” organized by the Ukrainian Bar Association (UBA), representatives of the business and expert community discussed Ukraine’s Law No. 4111-IX on corporate liability for corruption offenses.

UNIC actively promotes the topic of compliance and related educational and career opportunities. The Network is also working on the official recognition of the compliance officer position at the state level and its inclusion in the National Occupational Classifier.

UNIC supports the implementation of reforms and measures aimed at strengthening anti-corruption policy in Ukraine in accordance with OECD recommendations, the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, and the State Anti-Corruption Program (SAP). These efforts are part of the project "Business Integrity as a Basis for Sustainable Recovery," implemented with the support of USAID and UK International Development.
