*Covered in Transparency Internationals publication ‘Transparency in Corporate Reporting:

Assessing the World’s Largest Companies’, published on 5 November 2014.

N.b. Data collection was carried out between January and March 2014. For companies that were covered in ‘Transparency in Corporate Reporting: Assessing the World’s Largest Companies’, data collection was carried out between August and October 2013. Transparency International UK (TI-UK) has aimed to ensure integrity of all data collection and analysis. TI-UK contacted all companies in the study to inform them of the study and to give them an opportunity to review and verify their data. Not all companies listed in the study took the opportunity to verify their data. For those that responded, input from the companies was validated and corrections were made if necessary. For more information on the study’s methodology, please see the report ‘Transparency in Corporate

Reporting: Assessing the World’s Largest Companies’, via www.transparency.org
