Turkish Integrity Center of Excellence - TICE Information

Businesses seldom have appropriate expertise to implement internationally developed anti-corruption and good governance guidelines and standards. Assessment of improvement is hardly possible due to non-existing coherent data regarding socio-economic effects of corruption on leading sectors of the local economy. Many companies have some sort of ethical standards but what they dont have is a compliance program to turn those standards into the very basis of their written corporate culture. Consequently business ethics remain a soft skill for the companies rather than a value and an asset to be measured, reported and effectively managed. Our Vision is to create a cultural change in the Turkish Private Sector and train compliance officers who will effectively manage integrity risks for their companies. Turkish Integrity Center of Excellence - TICE was founded by Ethics and Reputation Society (TEID) to play the crucial role for this vision. TICE is a platform that will impact the Turkish Business both nationally and internationally in increasing its compliance standards. We do not only act as a point of reference for the private sector companies assisting them to implant the principles of business ethics but we also work closely with the legislator in the pursuit of a social economic environment where companies act in compliance with those principles do not lose their competitiveness but gain advantages.
