Integrity in Practice Forum – Shaping the Future through Responsible Governance

Integrity in Practice Forum – Shaping the Future through Responsible Governance

The Thai-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce (TNCC), in collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok is hosting an exceptional event, Integrity in Practice Forum – Shaping the Future through Responsible Governance. This event aims to strengthen business opportunities while promoting sustainable and responsible practices.

The event also marks the 30th Anniversary of the chamber — a milestone celebrating three decades of partnership and collaboration in the Thai-Norwegian business community since 1996. It reflects the long-standing relationship between Thailand and Norway, underscoring a shared commitment to mutual growth, trust, and innovation.

Norway is recognised for its relatively low levels of corruption, supported by established institutions, transparent governance practices, and an emphasis on accountability in public administration. This event seeks to share those experiences with Thai counterparts, fostering mutual learning and cooperation. As Thailand continues to strengthen its regulatory environment and promote responsible business practices, there is growing interest in international best practices that support transparency, ethical governance, and investor confidence.

The forum will bring together representatives from the public and private sectors, as well as academia, to exchange insights from Norwegian, Thai and international contexts to promote integrity and responsible governance. The event will explore how institutions, businesses, and educational organisations integrate anti-corruption principles into governance structures, corporate culture, and academic curricula, ensuring integrity is embedded in future leadership. The event will also connect the practices to the World Bank Business Ready framework (B-READY) as well as the OECD’s Anti-Corruption and Integrity Framework to highlight how transparency and strong governance frameworks support a predictable and resilient business climate.

Through panel discussions, case studies, and an interactive workshop, the event will encourage open dialogue and collaboration. A networking session will follow, offering space to build relationships and explore joint initiatives. This event will bridge the meaningful exchanges, encourage potential collaborations, and offer valuable insights in an interactive and informal setting.
