With approximately 90 signatories from different sectors across the globe, PACI serves as the leading business voice on anti-corruption and transparency.
It is one of the World Economic Forum's strongest cross-industry collaborative efforts that are creating a highly visible, agenda-setting platform by working with business leaders, international organizations and governments to address corruption, transparency and emerging-market risks. PACI signatories include some of the world's most prominent companies and organizations, such as Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Citigroup, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, Microsoft, Dell Technologies and others.
"We are very excited to have Codewise join the PACI Community," said Mr. Pedro G. Gómez Pensado, Head of PACI.

"It's a great honor for Codewise to join one of the foremost international organizations that lead the fight against corruption around the world," said Dr. John Malatesta, Executive Chairman and CEO of Codewise. "Digital corruption and ad fraud are massive issues that affect multiple segments of the global economy, such as the Internet and Media industries, and largest advertisers. Tens of billions of dollars are stolen by digital fraudsters every year worldwide. In its ugliest forms digital fraud harms the democratic process through election manipulation.
From the day of its foundation, our company has made defeating fraud and corruption in the Digital space one of its primary missions. Over the years, we have built advanced ad fraud detection technologies, deployed strict compliance practices and accumulated unique subject matter expertise, which we are happy to share with the companies and public organizations striving to put an end to this ugly phenomenon. Above all, we are excited to join forces with like-minded global leaders at PACI who are pursuing the same goal."
