The U.S. Consulate in Vladivostok presents a free seminar and discussion in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk on Strengthening Integrity in the Public and Private Sector - Creating a Better Business Environment

Why should your company be concerned about business ethics?

• Last year Russian businesses spent over $33 billion in bribes - 12% of GDP
• Bribes account for 10 percent of each business transaction in Russia - how much is your firm losing?
• Of the leading exporting countries, Russian companies are most likely to pay bribes to win business
• Corruption and lack of transparency are barriers to investment and trade.

Help create a dialogue between the public and private sectors on issues of corruption and build a better business environment for your firm!
