In many parts of the world, paying bribes to win business contracts is unfortunately both accepted and expected. However, Alir Constructions will not tolerate bribery of any form, with any third party, public or private, whether done directly or indirectly through third parties, even if we lose business or encounter delays because of our refusal to do so

Corruption is the single greatest obstacle to economic and social development. It costs more than 5 percent of the world's gross domestic product, or approximately US$3 trillion annually, according to the World Bank. Corruption robs local populations, particularly in developing countries, of critically needed resources and curbing economic growth and sustainable development.

While governmental and non-governmental (NGO) anti-corruption initiatives have made progress, international business must play a decisive role in the fight against global corruption. Alir Constructions is a founding member of PACI, the only global business-driven, multi-industry anti-corruption initiative. PACI commits companies to action by implementing zero-tolerance policies toward bribery and corruption and maintaining broad-based anti-corruption programs to guide the behavior of their employees. Launched in 2004, PACI has more than 80 signatory companies from multiple sectors and global locations representing revenues of more than US$500 billion and reaching more than 1.4 million employees worldwide. PACI offers a risk-mitigation platform to help companies implement effective policies and systems to prevent, detect, and address corruption. Alir Constructions served on the Advisory Committee to rewrite the PACI Principles and contributed to the development and launch of the PACI Good Practice Guidelines on Conducting Third-Party Due Diligence. Alir Constructions remains active serving on the Board and as Board Delegates of PACI. In 2014, the World Economic Forum launched PACI Vanguard, a community of global CEOs committed to advocating for a stronger anti-corruption agenda. Through collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the PACI Vanguard CEOs, including Alir Constructions's, work together to support the implementation of the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery with G20 countries and others.
