CONFERENCE
The Gretta Fenner Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action and Inspirational Newcomer Awards One special highlight of the conference was the ceremony for the International Collective Action Awards . Launched in 2022 , these Awards recognise and celebrate leading organisations in Collective Action . In 2023 , two regional awards were presented at the Southern Africa and Asia-Pacific Collective Action Forums .
This year , following the tragic passing of the Basel Institute ’ s Managing Director and Collective Action champion Gretta Fenner in April 2024 , the Outstanding Achievement Award has been renamed after her . As Gemma Aiolfi , who led the Basel Institute ’ s Compliance and Collective Action work for many years , mentioned in her moving tribute : “[ Gretta ] embraced the concept [ of Collective Action ] because it resonated with her . [...] She supported and advocated for its inclusion in the OECD Anti-Bribery Recommendation , as well as in other guidance and policy documents , such as in National Anti-Corruption Strategies .”
The Gretta Fenner Outstanding Achievement in Collective Action Award went to the Agribusiness Anti-Corruption Collective Action in Brazil , which aims to enhance integrity within Brazil ’ s agribusiness sector and its supply chain .
Organisations and initiatives awarded in this category have made significant contributions towards fairer market conditions and corruption prevention through their engagement in Collective Action .
In the category of Inspirational Newcomer , the award went to the Transparency 100 % Movement of the UN Global Compact Network Brazil . This initiative encourages companies in Brazil to go beyond legal requirements and commit to five ambitious transparency goals for 2023 .
