The Transparency International study took into account three different ways in which companies can address corruption. Transparency International researchers said this information was gathered from corporate websites and other publicly available sources. Multi-national companies based in emerging nations are failing to tackle corruption with a lack of transparency allowing unscrupulous practices to continue and exacerbating poverty, a study by an anti-corruption group said on Monday. But this score was also lower than a survey of 124 of the world's largest multinational companies by Transparency International in 2014 which led to an average score of 3.8. The report by Transparency International found that three quarters of the 100 fastest-growing companies based in 15 emerging market countries and active in 185 countries scored less than half marks in transparency tests.
