Integrity Pact is a tool developed by Transparency International which ensures that all activities and transactions between a Company or Government Departments and their suppliers / contractors are handled in a fair, transparent and corruption free manner. It is observed that large scale corruption occurs particularly in Government and Public Sector Undertaking's procurement programs and works contracts. Large scale corruption results in major drain of valuable resources which impedes development process and corrodes morale fiber of the Society.
