Background Campaigning for integrity is a permanent and continuous task for which the executives of an authority are responsible in a specific manner. They are responsible for the implementation of the corresponding guidelines given out by the head of the administration. At the same time, they possess a comprehensive knowledge of the field of work which they head. Thus, they are able to develop specific prevention approaches on their own which are tailored to the respective particularities. The executives who will be certified through this programme guarantee that the fight against corruption is not only confined to special measures, but is also constantly implemented in the authority’s daily routine. They support the willingness of their employees to always see their own work as well as the strategic guidelines of the administration from the point of view of the management of integrity as well.
