Our Mission

Our mission is to stop corruption, promote integrity and, to that end, hold power to account for the common good.

Our work

We work with the UK and devolved governments, parliamentarians, civil society and the private sector 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.

Our UK priorities

Our research, evidence and advocacy drives the use and improvements of law, regulations, systems and policy to deter and pursue corruption.

By driving the public and private sectors to change behaviour, attitudes and stop corruption.

By sharing knowledge, creating pressure and reducing opposition, we mobilise and support allies to tackle corruption.

Defence and Security

We work towards a world where governments, the armed forces and arms transfers are transparent, accountable and free from corruption.

Global Health

We fight corruption in health so that governments and civil society can create stronger, sustainable and inclusive health systems around the world.

2023 Corruption Perceptions Index

In 2023, the UK dropped to its lowest rank and score on Transparency International’s respected global Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The UK now sits at 20th place having been just outside the top 10 in 2021.

The CPI uses impartial surveys from experts and business leaders to score and rank countries by the perceived level of corruption in their public sectors.
