OVERVIEW

In today’s complex governance landscape, state-owned companies (SOCs) play a pivotal role in post-apartheid South Africa's economic development, social equity, and national progress. However, corruption and unethical practices can significantly undermine these contributions, eroding public trust and impeding operational efficiency. The Framework for an Anti-Corruption Intervention (F4SACI) provides a comprehensive approach to fostering ethical citizenship, improving integrity, and embedding a culture of accountability within SOCs. This framework seeks to address the unique challenges faced by SOCs by establishing robust anti-corruption structures, enhancing ethical awareness, and empowering employees to speak up. By aligning with an SOC's ethics ecosystem and expanding upon its core principles, this framework offers an actionable blueprint for sustainable, transparent governance in SOCs.

What
We
Do

This framework is designed to enhance an SOC's ethics ecosystem by deepening the focus on ethical behaviour and compliance within the procurement process and across all interactions. By aligning with an SOC’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, the framework ensures that ethical standards are woven into the fabric of its business processes, thereby promoting a sustainable, transparent, and integrity-focused culture.

​

​In synergy with Public Interest SA’s Justice in Energy Transition Project, this framework supports fair, responsible use of public resources with a specific focus on electricity and energy consumption. The commitment to anti-corruption aligns with broader goals of energy justice, ensuring equitable access to energy resources and fostering responsible stewardship of South Africa’s energy infrastructure.​
