Businesses in the UK generate billions in turnover every year, with operations ranging in size from micro businesses to large multi-national enterprises. As a key player in the global economy with an independent voice at the World Trade Organization, the UK is well equipped to lead the integrity agenda, not only because of its progressive anti-bribery legislation, but also because many UK businesses now recognise the strategic advantage responsible business conduct offers to the country’s dynamic economy.
The COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the role and expectations of defence and security forces, and shifted the trajectory of key global defence and security trends while simultaneously contributing to the emergence of new trends within the defence and security sector. Transparency International’s Defence and Security programme has worked to identify these trends as they relate to corruption, crisis, and conflict, and to make recommendations to limit their impact on the effectiveness of response efforts and wider peace and stability.
A world in which government, politics, business, civil society and the daily lives of people are free of corruption.
Transparency, Accountability, Integrity, Solidarity, Courage, Justice, Democracy
We are a civil society organisation committed to respecting the following principles:
As coalition builders, we will work cooperatively with all individuals and groups, with for profit and not for profit corporations and organisations, and with governments and international bodies committed to the fight against corruption, subject only to the policies and priorities set by our governing bodies.
We undertake to be open, honest and accountable in our relationships with everyone we work with and with each other.
We will be democratic, politically non partisan and non sectarian in our work.
We will condemn bribery and corruption vigorously and courageously wherever it has been reliably identified.
The positions we take will be based on sound, objective and professional analysis and high standards of research.
We will only accept funding that does not compromise our ability to address issues freely, thoroughly and objectively.
We will provide accurate and timely reports of our activities to our stakeholders.
We will respect and encourage respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.
We are committed to building, working with and working through national chapters worldwide.
We will strive for balanced and diverse representation on our governing bodies.
As one global movement, we stand in solidarity with each other and we will not act in ways that may adversely affect other Chapters or the TI movement as a whole.

As part of the application process, and to help ensure transparency, we would like to know a little more about your motivations and interests.
We'd recommend copy and pasting your answers into the boxes provided. Please also upload a CV or biography.
To ensure that our procedures do not discriminate, and to analyse whether our member applicants are representative of the population, we ask all prospective members to complete a monitoring form. It is not obligatory, but we strongly encourage applicants to complete it. This form will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Please note that we will not use this information as part of the membership acceptance process. The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. It will help us fulfil our commitment to equal opportunities if you would complete all sections of this form.
The information given will be used in compliance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Since membership applications need approval, we cannot take your payment right away. We will let you know as and when your membership application has been approved (which will usually be within three months), and will remind you then about the ways to pay. However, you can tick the Gift Aid box now.
Once accepted as a member, there are 4 different payment methods:
Standard membership donation levels are:
If you are able to make an additional donation of any size, it is extremely valuable to us.
I am a UK taxpayer and I want Transparency International UK to treat this donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to be treated as GiftAid donations. I also understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference
