Global Compliance Week 2026

From 12 to 16 October 2026, Global Compliance Week returns under the theme: “Integrity is our game. Fair Play. Every Day.”

Just as success in sports depends on teamwork, clear rules and fair play, sustainable business success depends on integrity, accountability and ethical decision-making.

With a football-inspired approach, we’ll bring key compliance topics to life through practical sessions, videos and interactive content.

12 – 16 October

Throughout the week, we will feature:

• Daily intranet content
  
• "Voices from the Field" videos featuring our Regional Compliance Officers
  
• "Compliance in 100 Seconds" micro-learning videos
  
• Live training sessions across multiple time zones
  
• The Speak Up Quiz, with three backpacks to be won
  

The full program is available below and will be posted from Monday to Friday on our Intranet.

Check back each day for new content, videos, and ways to get involved!
