Our study explores how organizations across Europe perceive and manage corruption risks today – from the maturity of anti-corruption programs to the cultural understanding of what constitutes corrupt behavior. It also examines how preventive measures are evolving, and where gaps between regulation and real world still persist. This is complemented by an insightful interview with François Valérian, Chair of Transparency International, who reflects on how corruption lies at the root of many global challenges and why it can only be effectively addressed through strong Compliance frameworks and an independent judiciary.
