Governance reporting
Transparency International adheres to various reporting frameworks. This page presents our compliance with initiatives that seek to establish new norms and standards in the fields of governance and sustainability.
GRI Reports
As a signatory to the INGO Accountability Charter, Transparency International submitted its first GRI report in 2010. More details on this reporting framework and on the INGO Accountability charter can be obtained at the INGO Accountability Charter website.
