RESIST: Resisting Extortion and Solicitation in International Transactions. A company tool for employee training

Companies facing extortion now have a new anti-corruption tool based on real-life scenarios of solicitation and extortion demands. RESIST (Resisting Extortions and Solicitations in International Transactions) is primarily a training tool to help employees counter solicitation and extortion demands in the most efficient and ethical manner, acknowledging they might be accompanied by a threat. The tool also aims to help companies reduce the probability of such demands being made. Over 20 companies and organisations contributed to designing RESIST, based on their experience of solicitation and extortion demands.

Transparency International, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the United Nations Global Compact (GC), developed RESIST to support companies conducting international business who are potentially exposed to corruption.
