Mission

Foster a culture of integrity as a basis for sustainable business in the engineering and construction sectors

Goals

MISEC (Movimento pela Integridade do Setor de Engenharia e Construção) is a Collective Action initiative that aims to raise awareness and understanding of integrity and anti-corruption issues in the supply chains of the engineering and construction sectors.

Stakeholders

Originally named Construction and Engineering Anti-Corruption Collective Action, it was initiated and intially facilitated by the Global Compact Network Brazil and Instituto Ethos with seed funding from Siemens under the Siemens Integrity Initiative in 2016. In 2021, the initiative evolved into MISEC including major companies and business associations in the construction sector.

Activities

The members commit to the vision of promoting an ethical, honest, transparent environment within the industry, adopting best practices in compliance and integrity that strengthen the fight against corruption and ensure the sector’s credibility with civil society, public authorities, private companies and investors. The content developed through the initiative includes learning materials, training, articles and videos. Together, the companies aim to mobilise over 30,000 suppliers to join the Movement.
