This document summarizes Transparency International's strategies for working with the private sector to address corruption. It discusses how corruption negatively impacts businesses and the economy. TI works to strengthen laws and standards, encourages collective action among industry groups, and provides tools to help individual companies implement anti-corruption programs. The Business Principles for Countering Bribery is one of TI's key tools to guide companies in establishing anti-bribery procedures.

2. BUSINESS AND CORRUPTION:
WHY IT MATTERS
73% of business people said
they had lost business due to
bribery in the last 12 months (TI,
2012)
In 40 countries around the world,
more than 50% of the people
think the private sector is corrupt
or extremely corrupt. (TI, 2013)
65% of business people surveyed
believe a level playing field is crucial
to their company’s future business
activities. (PwC, 2008)
Corruption adds up to 10% to the
total cost of doing business globally
(UNGC, ICC, TI, 2008)
The European Commission
calculated that in the Member States
around €120 billion or US$163
billion is lost to corruption.
About 2 in 3 adults
worldwide believe corruption is
widespread in the businesses in
their countries. (Gallup, 2012)

3. HOW TI VIEWS
THE CORRUPTION CHALLENGE
TRANSPARENCY AND INTEGRITY, MADRID 09/06/2015 - 3 -
The demand
side
The supply
side
• Governments
• Public authorities and agencies
• State Owned Enterprises
• Business – The private sector
• (ordinary citizens)
If we could eliminate the supply of bribery from the business world, TI
would come closer to its mission of creating a “world free of corruption”
BUT the challenge: business works in many very corrupt environments
