When he crossed the finish line HE was World Champion.  Seconds later, Hamilton passed a suddenly slower Timo Glock, wresting the crown away from Massa by one point.<\/p>\n<p>There have been the inevitable accusations that Glock was bribed to let Hamilton through.  This has been a season of dubious decisions and, whether the allegation is true or not, it\u2019s difficult not to wonder if there is some truth in at least some of the whispers.<\/p>\n<h3>Transparency International and Dow Jones Unite Against Corruption<\/h3>\n<p>Corruption is as much an issue for ordinary businesses as it is for Formula One.  While the CSR facet of sustainability is about restoring corporate trust, corruption is all the betrayal of all trust for personal gain.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully there has been an organisation fighting against corporate corruption for over fifteen years: <a title=\"Transparency International\" href=\"http:\/\/www.transparency.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transparency International<\/a> (TI).<\/p>\n<p>TI doesn\u2019t conduct investigations into individual cases, although it will lend assistance in special circumstances.  It&#8217;s focus is upon advocating transparency in the business arena as the means to stamp out corrupt practices once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>Now it has entered into a two year partnership with <a title=\"Dow Jones\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dowjones.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dow Jones<\/a>, publisher of the <a title=\"A Brace Of Indices\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/a-brace-of-indices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dow Jones Sustainability Index<\/a>.  The deal will considerably strengthen the efforts of both organisations to promote transparency and eradicate corruption among the business community.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, Dow Jones will give TI free access to two of its products.  The first is <a title=\"Factiva\" href=\"http:\/\/www.factiva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Factiva<\/a>, a news service which amalgamates various sources including <a title=\"Financial Times\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Financial Times<\/a>, <a title=\"Wall Street Journal\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, <a title=\"Associated Press\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ap.org\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Associated Press<\/a>, Dun &amp; Bradstreet and <a title=\"Reuters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The second is their <a title=\"Watchlist\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170227104143\/http:\/\/www.fis.dowjones.com:80\/products\/watchlist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watchlist<\/a> product.  This tracks Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs); people from all over the world who could use their current or recent position in public office for private gain.  There are nearly half a million PEPs worldwide: many have the same opportunity for corruption, though only a few take it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pqRight\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/800px-world_map_index_of_perception_of_corruption.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/800px-world_map_index_of_perception_of_corruption-150x65.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/65;\" \/><\/a><a>World Map<br \/>\nCorruption Perception Index 2008<\/a><\/div>\n<h3>Bribery and Corruption In Your Western Country<\/h3>\n<p>But what, you may be asking yourself, has all this to do with enlightened Western democracies?  Surely there\u2019s no corruption in the UK, EU or USA?<\/p>\n<p>Just over a month ago, the UK was described by TI as <a title=\"TI-UK Press Release on OECD Report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transparency.org.uk\/oecd-report-deplores-uk-anti-bribery-record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201ca place where corrupt business is done\u201d<\/a>.  It went on to call upon the Government to \u201cstop procrastinating and address the fundamental weaknesses\u201d in its approach to bribery and corruption.<\/p>\n<p>This criticism was prompted by <a title=\"OECD Group demands rapid UK action to enact adequate anti-bribery laws\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/document\/8\/0,3343,en_2649_34487_41515464_1_1_1_1,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a stinging assessment of the UK\u2019s anti-corruption framework<\/a> by the <a title=\"Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This included four sweeping recommendations and the requirement that the country produce quarterly written reports to the OECD&#8217;s <a title=\"Bribery In Business\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/department\/0,3355,en_2649_34855_1_1_1_1_1,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Working Group on Bribery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to TI\u2019s 2008 Corruption Perception Index, the UK is seen as the sixteenth least corrupt country, with the USA ranked eighteenth.<\/p>\n<p>If leading countries such as these are finding it difficult to meet their international obligations then you have to wonder about the businesses they are charged with regulating.<\/p>\n<h3>The Suspicion of Corruption<\/h3>\n<p>There are persistent rumours in Formula One about backroom deals and bias towards certain teams and drivers.  No matter the veracity of these rumours, it\u2019s the perception of a fixed championship which will stick more than any denial.<\/p>\n<p>So it is with business.  One or two questionable decisions (such as the UK-Saudi <a title=\"The Guardian\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/baefiles\/page\/0,,2095831,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Al Yamamah Defence Programme<\/a>) can lead to a wholesale collapse in trust and leave many companies unfairly tarnished with the same brush.<\/p>\n<p>It therefore seems sensible to recommend that all businesses should include in their sustainability reporting a statement on transparency, preferably from the <a title=\"GRI - A Brief Overview\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/the-global-reporting-initiative-a-brief-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Reporting Initiative<\/a> or another internationally accepted standard.<\/p>\n<p>After all, everyone knows that if you\u2019re not transparent you must be hiding something.
