Annual Report 2022

13 June 2023

For Transparency International, 2022 was a year of creating vital, lasting change around the world. We are a global movement with more than 100 independent national chapters and partners working together to tackle corruption. We tirelessly promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels, and across all sectors of society.

This year we:

closed in on kleptocrats by leading action against cross-border corruption
pushed back against corruption in climate action
used the world’s best known anti-corruption product to defend human rights
supported victims of corruption and helped everyday people create systemic change
established our goals for 2026
countered wrongdoing in COVID-19 responses
tackled autocratic foreign influence
