The Business Integrity Initiative continued with the second training session, "Compliance Procedures and Activities as a Response to Compliance Risks," which was lectured by Mila Crnogorac Bajic, CCEP-I. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the consequences of unmitigated reputational risk in various industries, risk activities, and environmental analysis.
