On December 9, the United Nations celebrated the International Day Against Corruption. It is an important day that shows how the phenomenon is a true obstacle to development, growth, security, and how it undermines the citizen’s confidence in government institutions.

The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation will celebrate the day on December 18 with a conference in Rome dedicated to integrity and corruption prevention in public and listed companies. The event is organized by MAECI, MISE, MEF, and ANAC with the objective to raise awareness among institutions and operators on the existence of standards and principles for companies operating abroad.
