Our guiding principles
Our guiding principles guide and unite us across the world:
- 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 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 human rights and freedom.
- We are committed to building, working with and working through 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.
