Civilisation, the word, means living in cities. It's supposed to describe places where people have found ways to live together peacefully.
You can only do that if you live without the corruption that cripples opportunity and rewards the thuggish and vile who oppress everyones chance of bettering their situations. That cancer undermines the health of every person and institution it infects and destroys hope by constantly sapping freedom, vitality and eventually the will to move forward.
The enforcement of the rule of law by disinterested courts is the best gaurantee against corruption. Thus corruption will only be repressed by authorities who don't indulge it personally and who respect the rule of law and never imagine themselves above it. And only such authorities, who are able to truthfully speak with moral authority, can improve the opportunities of others.
