Many companies have embraced the implications of new anti-corruption laws and regulations that have swept across the world in the last decade or so; they acknowledge that clean business is good business, and live up to this by rejecting bribery, even going so far as to disengage from a market or business sector if the corruption risks cannot be adequately mitigated. Taking such a step is not something undertaken lightly by any company, and in highly competitive business environments it can sometimes be extremely difficult to opt out of a market entirely.
