Principle 3: Be accountable to stakeholders through transparency and public reporting

Principle 4: Ensure human resources policies and procedures support the anti-corruption program

Principle 5: Design the anti-corruption program based on thorough risk assessment

Principle 6: Implement detailed policies and procedures to counter key corruption risks

Principle 7: Manage relationships with third parties to ensure they perform to an anti-corruption standard

Principle 8: Use communication and training to embed the anti-corruption program in the Al Jisr Foundation
