Transparency International Defence Companies
Anti-Corruption Index

In addition to the external audit in accordance with IDW PS 980, we are regularly audited externally by Transparency International (TI) as part of the Defence Companies Anti-Corruption Index (DCI).

This audit initiated by TI is conducted at irregular intervals and last took place in 2020. The Defence Companies Anti-Corruption Index (DCI) published by Transparency International Defence & Security sets standards for transparency, reporting obligations and anti-corruption programmes in the defence sector.

In the latest DCI, which was published on 9 February 2021, thyssenkrupp once again achieved category B (high commitment to transparency and anti-corruption) with 71 out of a possible 100 points, putting it in 9th place in an international comparison of the 134 companies surveyed.
