The Integrity Organisation was founded in 1995 as a response to the military recklessness era in Nigeria at that time. Its mission is to empower people, their institutions and systems against Corruption. As a result of the need to have a specific arm that would deal with issues arising in the private sector while Integrity still focuses on the Public domain, it gave birth to the establishment of The Convention on Business Integrity,
The Convention on Business Integrity (CBi) is a company limited by Guarantee. The organization was established in 1997 with the mission of promoting ethical business Practices, transparency and fair competition in the private and public sectors. Signatories of the Convention undertake to observe the values of the Code of Business Integrity, both within their own organizations and in their dealings with customers and partners. The code includes both sanctions and incentives for the organizations involved.
To show their pledge to the Convention, signatories enter into a purely moral commitment with the intent of benefiting from and upholding the platform of credibility which the members of the Convention share. The Convention currently has twenty-three (23) corporate signatories and more companies are set to sign on in the cause of the year.
