Media Advisory: How transparent are the world’s biggest companies?

Transparency International (TI), the leading global anti-corruption organisation, will release its latest study Transparency in Corporate Reporting: Assessing the World’s Largest Companies on 10 July. The report ranks 105 of the biggest publicly-traded companies worldwide based on their public commitment to transparency.

The index scores companies in three areas of public reporting by companies, including their anti-corruption systems, country-by-country financial reporting of corporate operations and a measurement of how open companies are about their many subsidiaries, units and other entities they control. Company scores range from 0 to 10, where 0 is the least transparent and 10 is the most transparent.
