Resisting Corruption

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The United Nations has designated today as international anti-corruption day. But how can a business avoid paying a bribe? Justin Rowlatt speaks to Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, a former chairman of the oil giant Shell and the global mining company Anglo-American. And we ask Gary Busch, a logistics consultant with experience in Russia and Africa: is there a moral obligation for business people to refuse to pay bribes? Plus, Mark Tully reports in his letter from Delhi, on the key role of the press to maintain the pressure for punishment and the vigilance of the courts.
