Association Fighting Corruption

ALES the European Lean Managers Society is an Association Fighting Corruption.

We define corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.

To end corruption we must first understand it. That’s why we look at what causes corruption and what works against it.

To end corruption, we advocate for power to be held accountable. Everywhere.

ALES the EUROPEAN LEAN MANAGERS SOCIETY supporting OECD – OCDE webinar “Rebuilding Trust in Government and Public Institutions for a Functioning Democracy”
Santiago González – OECD
Johanna Gleeson – OECD

Trust is the foundation for the legitimacy of public institutions and a functioning democratic system. Crucial for maintaining political participation and social cohesion, trust helps ensure the success of a wide range of policies that depend on behavioral responses from the public—as shown by the COVID-19 emergency. However, on average across OECD countries, only about half of people say that they trust their national government. Since the global financial crisis of 2008, trust in government has eroded in many countries and recovered only in some.
