The Papua New Guinea Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE) proudly joined the recent 2025 Sir Anthony Siaguru Walk Against Corruption hosted by Transparency International PNG (TIPNG), fielding four teams in a strong show of support for integrity, transparency, and good governance.
The theme for the 2025 Sir Anthony Siaguru Walk Against Corruption is “Integrity & Action Now.”
PNG CORE marched in alignment with this theme, highlighting its commitment through the banner: “Integrity at the CORE: Strengthening PNG’s Resources for Generations,” which reinforces the Chamber’s dedication to ethical leadership and responsible resource development.
The Walk Against Corruption is one of PNG’s most visible civic movements, bringing together citizens, civil society, and the private sector to stand united against corruption in all its forms.
PNG CORE’s participation reflects the resource sector’s shared responsibility in promoting accountability and safeguarding national wealth for future generations. PNG CORE was among 186 teams and over 2,000 participants who took part in the Walk Against Corruption on Sunday in Port Moresby city.
Chief Operating Officer Mrs. Pansy Taueni-Sialis echoed TIPNG Chair Peter Aitsi’s sentiments, stating that all participants have clearly demonstrated their stance against corruption.
“Saying no to corruption starts with us and is reflected through our actions. We are thankful to our family members, including students, who joined the PNG CORE team. This demonstrates that we heard the call and have answered it—joining forces with like-minded organizations to stand up and say no to corruption in Papua New Guinea.”
PNG CORE was also a proud sponsor of the Best Dressed School Team category, which was awarded to Kopkop Lower Secondary School.
The winning team received a prize pack consisting of mixed merchandise from the Chamber,” Mrs. Pansy Taueni-Sialis said.
She said the Chamber commends TIPNG for its continued leadership in fostering a culture of accountability and civic engagement.
PNG CORE remains committed to working with all stakeholders to uphold the values of integrity, transparency, and sustainable development in Papua New Guinea.
