Transparency International Deutschland e.V. (Transparency Germany) is the national chapter of Transparency International. Transparency International is a global network leading the fight against corruption including more than 100 established national chapters. The national chapters fight corruption on the national level in a number of ways, work independently and are self-financed. They bring together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. Transparency’s global chapter network also uses advocacy campaigns to lobby governments in order for them to implement anti-corruption reforms.
Transparency Germany is recognized as a non-profit organization and works independently. Basic principles are integrity, accountability, transparency and participation of civil society. The aim is to raise public awareness about the harmful consequences of corruption and to strengthen integrity systems.
