“…In the most extreme cases, economic pressures on cost reduction have encouraged suppliers, usually in less developed countries, to cheat on fair practices to avoid costly changes and loss of competitiveness, fostering a general decrease in quality, innovation, as well as stakeholder trust and opportunities for long-term value creation (Lim, Phillips 2008;Maloni, Brown 2006).

The globalisation of economies and markets, brings out the full importance of the responsibility on the part of national, regional and international authorities as regards competitiveness and support of sustainable local development. The extractive sector of natural resources is a good example of this phenomenon which involves several countries (often in less development areas) and large international enterprises which need for good procurement system. The corruption in business relationship is a barrier for development in Africa because it could be both a significant risk factor for international company investments and an inadequate solution to promote a real local development. In particular, the article is intended to provide an overview of the mining sector in Democratic Republic of Congo following the recent evolution of bribery connected to the rules of ITIE (Initiative pour la Transparence dans les Industries Extractives) and the emerging issues related to corruption and local development opportunities.

“…Integrated global supply chains are becoming a critical part of the competitive landscape as firms seek to create strategic advantages (Brondoni, Pepe 2007). In response to customers' concerns for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and pressure from various stakeholder groups, many buying firms are implementing programs within their supply chains aimed at achieving supplier compliance with respect to such labour practices and/or environmental issues (Pepe 2003;Pepe 2007;Boyd et al 2007;Leire, Mont 2009).…”
