International Anti Corruption Day 2025

This year’s campaign builds on last year’s efforts to put young voices at the heart of the fight against corruption. It will feature future integrity leaders sharing insights on the links between organised crime and corruption, the role of AI and emerging technologies, and how corruption impacts peace and security, showing why combating corruption is essential for a fair and secure future.

The message is simple but powerful: young people are not only tomorrow’s leaders. They can be champions of transparency and accountability today. By engaging youth, listening to their experiences, and supporting their ideas, we can create a future where integrity is the norm.

Our commitment to a corruption-free maritime industry remains anchored in our zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, corruption, and facilitation payments. We believe that a strong culture of compliance and integrity builds trust and creates lasting value for both our organisation and society. Transparency is at the heart of what we do, and we encourage everyone to speak up whenever something doesn’t seem right. This means not only enforcing rules but also mentoring and empowering others, especially younger colleagues, to question processes and suggest better ways of working. By opening channels for their voices, we strengthen our culture of trust.

Finally, observing this day is a call to action. As a leader in the maritime industry, we see it as an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to accountability through training, stronger whistleblower protections, and more transparent reporting systems. Corruption cannot be solved by one organisation alone; it requires collective effort from young people, the public and private sectors, and civil society. Together, we can build a more honest and resilient organisation and contribute to a more just world.
