Integrity as a Competitive Advantage: Corruption Avoidance for Sustainable Competitive Advantage

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organisations face increasing pressure to strengthen governance, ensure compliance, and build resilient procurement systems. Companies that prioritise integrity and accountability are better positioned to reduce risk, attract investment, and maintain a competitive edge.

Join the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI) for an exclusive executive dialogue featuring Dr Max Burger-Scheidlin, Executive Director of the International Chamber of Commerce Austria and internationally recognised governance and compliance specialist.

Drawing on extensive international experience and South African insights, Dr Burger-Scheidlin will share practical approaches to strengthening internal systems, improving procurement integrity, managing corruption risks, and enhancing long-term business performance.

Key discussion areas include:

• Integrity as a driver of competitiveness and investor confidence
• Procurement integrity and corruption risk mitigation
• Governance lessons from South Africa's experience
• Cross-border compliance and emerging market realities
• Building stronger internal controls and accountability systems

The session will conclude with a networking opportunity, allowing participants to engage with fellow business leaders and governance professionals.
