In order to bring attention to corruption and how a company aids others in avoiding falling into its trap, ACTE International Morocco held an event in the city of lights on the occasion of International Anti-Corruption Day under the theme “Actors in the battle against corruption.”
ACTE International is known for providing services in the global management of supply chains and distribution throughout the world.
ACTE began operating in Morocco and accomplished unmatched success with great projects like helping Bank Al-Maghrib obtain ISO 37001, an anti-bribery management system.
By adopting this anti-bribery policy, appointing someone to oversee anti-bribery compliance, training, risk assessments, and due diligence on projects and business partners, as well as putting in place financial and commercial controls and reporting and investigation procedures, ISO 37001 enables organizations of all sizes to prevent, detect, and address bribery.
Bank Al-Maghrib, with the help of ACTE, managed to become the first central bank in the world to adopt such a program.
ACTE now works with over 30 Moroccan institutions, mainly banking companies, pharmaceuticals, construction companies, and more.
Mathieu Fourcade, ACTE Morocco and Maghreb’s manager, has lived in Morocco for 8 years trying to get a full gist of Moroccan institutions and how they manage corruption crisis, and avoid it.
He explained how ACTE aims to raise awareness of corruption, by carrying out a preventive approach that penetrates the depths of a company’s system, staff, and resources.
ACTE wants to share its knowledge with its clients to help them become ISO 37001 certified.
“Corruption will always exist,” said Mathieu, explaining that anti-corruption systems will mainly show results when corruption happens.
One day prior to International anti-Corruption Day, ACTE International renewed its commitment alongside Moroccan companies through this major event and affirmed its existence in a country that it considers to be “a continental base which stands out as a meeting place between major actors in corruption,” in Anne Le Rolland’s words.
Besides the press conference, the three main centerpieces of this event were as follows:
– A global assessment of the anti-corruption effort;
– Witnesses from around the world and Morocco speaking out on corruption
– A presentation to award outstanding Moroccan businesses for their anti-corruption efforts
ACTE International now develops its activities in the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa from its office in Casablanca, which has become a real continental base for training in the prevention of corruption.
