THE ANTI-CORRUPTION INTEGRITY, WAY OF ACHIEVING SDGs 16: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
The Sustainable Development Goals or known as SDGs in the past few decades become crucial framework in global efforts to improve sustainability, as undertaken by countries worldwide. Goal 16 within the SDGs raises awareness of the need to eradicate corruption and establish effective, inclusive, and law-based institutions. SDG 16 holds significant implications in management and governance, both public and private sectors, as business processes of corporate entities play a vital role in promoting good governance, ethics, and transparency. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was applied by using 17 SCOPUS-Indexed articles from 2010 until 2023. The eradication of corruption forms the foundation for creating a healthy and sustainable business environment. The anti-corruption movement, accountability, and whistleblowing practices are essential to maintaining integrity, accountability, and sustainability. This article is to study the roles of the anti-corruption movement, corporate entity integrity, and whistleblowing practices in organizational governance as efforts to support the achievement of SDGs 16 and the challenges they pose in management. The roles of governments, international institutions, and civil society in supporting and regulating the anti-corruption and whistleblowing movements across various sectors are also considered. Through these various efforts, we can collectively realize broader goals of building a just, integrity-driven, and sustainable society in line with the vision of the SDGs.
