Organization’s profile

Transparency International UK is the UK chapter of Transparency International – a global movement sharing one vision: a world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.

For more than 30 years Transparency International UK has worked to expose and prevent corruption so that no one in the UK and where the UK has influence has to suffer its consequences.

We work with the UK and devolved governments, parliamentarians, civil society and business to tackle corruption at home, addressing the UK’s global corruption footprint and helping multinational companies prevent corruption by operating with integrity.

We are also home to two major global programmes tackling corruption in the Defence and Security and Global Health sectors on behalf of the wider Transparency International movement.
