TEİD acts as a point of reference for private sector companies to implement the principles of business ethics and with the public sector in the pursuit of a socio-economic environment that incentivizes compliance with these principles.
TEİD vision is to create a cultural change in the Turkish Private Sector and train compliance officers who will effectively manage integrity risks for their companies. In that respect, TEİD is collecting data on corruption and integrity through regular surveys on business community.
