ADB's Anticorruption Policy requires all parties, including staff, borrowers, beneficiaries, bidders, suppliers, and contractors to observe the highest ethical standards when participating in ADB-financed activities. The Policy supports ADB's obligation, in accordance with Article 14(xi) of the Agreement Establishing the Asian Development Bank, to ensure that the proceeds of ADB financing are used only for their intended purposes.
