The OECD Business Integrity Group (BIG) was established in 2021 by the OECD’s Anti-Corruption Network for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ACN). The aim of the group is to bring together representatives from companies, business associations, collective action initiatives, and civil society organizations from the member countries of the Anti-Corruption Network.
