SURVEY: INDIAN FIRMS BEST, CHINA WORST ON TRANSPARENCY

HONG KONG (AP) — India has the most transparent companies while Chinese firms are the most opaque, according to a global watchdog’s survey released Monday that assesses the efforts of companies in emerging markets to fight corruption.

Transparency International said the report’s findings were “pathetic” and highlighted the urgent need for big multinational companies to do more to fight corruption.

The report covered 100 companies in 15 emerging-market countries that also included Brazil, Mexico and Russia. The overall score slipped since the last Transparency In Corporate Reporting survey in 2013, falling a fraction to 3.4 out of 10, with three quarters of companies scoring less than half.

The Berlin-based watchdog warned that the failure of a vast majority of companies surveyed to operate transparently risks creating an environment for corruption to thrive both in their businesses and the countries where they operate.

The weak scores are a big concern for global corruption fighting efforts, said Susan Cote-Freeman, Transparency’s head of business integrity. “All these companies including the Chinese ones are expanding in other geographies and they really have to raise the bar on their anticorruption and disclosure practices if we’re going to have a level playing field and if we’re going to really tackle this problem of corruption.”

Companies were scored on three measures: anticorruption programs, the amount of information disclosed about subsidiaries, joint ventures and other holdings, and financial data released for operations in each country where it has business.

Thirty-seven Chinese companies were evaluated, making them the survey’s biggest group, but they had the weakest overall performance. The three companies that scored zero out of 10 were all Chinese: automaker Chery, appliance maker Galanz and auto parts maker Wanxiang Group. The list’s bottom 25 spots were also dominated by Chinese companies.

“The very weak Chinese results stem from weak or non-existent anticorruption policies and procedures, or a clear failure to disclose them in line with international practice,” Transparency International said in a news release accompanying its report.

Spokespersons for Chery and Wanxiang did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. Galanz representatives could not be reached for comment.

Indian firms, on the other hand, dominated the top spots. Telecom company Bharti Airtel took first place with a score of 7.3 out of 10, followed by six units of conglomerate Tata and technology company Wipro.

One reason Indian companies came out on top is strict government requirements for financial disclosures, including operations in different countries. Another is that older companies such as Tata have been focusing on anticorruption efforts for “quite a long time,” said Cote-Freeman.

Only one Chinese company, telecom gear maker ZTE, placed in the top 25.

德国调查称中国三家企业“最不透明” 当事企业拒绝指责

【环球时报记者倪浩 王晓雄 环球时报驻德国特约记者 青木】“中国企业最不透明”——位于德国的非政府反腐败机构“透明国际”11日发布一份报告称，该机构对全球15个新兴国家的100家大型企业进行调查评估显示：印度企业在透明度方面做得最好，中国企业最差，3家中国企业在评估中被“打零分”。其中被点名的中国著名小家电企业格兰仕11日接受《环球时报》记者采访时表示，该公司不接受这样的评估。

据美联社11日报道，调查于去年11月至12月进行，包括巴西、墨西哥、俄罗斯、中国、印度等15个新兴国家。报告从受调查公司的反腐败举措、公司股权和子公司财产披露情况、在所运作国家的纳税额等关键财政信息三方面进行测评，给予0-10分的评分。报告撰写者表示，相关信息取自企业网站等公开信息来源。

报告称，受调查的大部分新兴市场公司透明度极低，“扮演了助长腐败增长的角色”。其中上市公司比国有和私营企业更加透明。与2013年进行的上一次调查相比，这些公司的平均得分下降0.2分，降至3.4分。“透明国际”主席何塞·乌盖兹在11日的媒体声明中表示：“新兴市场大型公司的透明程度令人失望，这不禁使人们质疑，私人企业对防止腐败、预防贫困、减少不平等究竟有多么关心。”不过英国《卫报》11日称，“透明国际”2014年发表的对全球124家跨国公司的透明度调查中，平均得分为3.8分。

美国CNBC网站称，“透明国际”此次调查的100家公司中，中国占了37家，平均得分为1.6分，是新兴市场公司中透明度最低的。报告批评称，中国企业存在的主要问题是反腐败政策几乎不存在，或根本未予披露。排名最靠后的10家公司中有9家为中国公司，包括万向集团、格兰仕集团和奇瑞汽车得分均为0分。中兴公司则跻身新兴市场25家最透明公司的行列。

印度报业托拉斯11日称，得分最高的公司来自印度，印度最大的电信运营商BhartiAirtell被认为是最透明的公司，得分为7.3分。“透明国际”认为，印度公司得分较高的原因在于其公司法案的存在，私人公司的工资收入披露、审计、募资等都要受到监管。公司法案也表明，强有力的监管事实上可以推动更大的透明度。

格兰仕集团是总部位于广东顺德的是中国著名小家电企业，公司负责新闻宣传的工作人员11日接受《环球时报》记者采访时，表示不接受透明国际对格兰仕作出的评估结果。他告诉记者说，格兰仕是一家在完全市场经济环境中成长起来的民营企业，如果不开放透明，没有良好的公司治理结构，根本不可能在残酷的市场环境中生存下来，更没有办法逐渐壮大。该工作人员称，格兰仕成立于1978年，立志于做百年老店，但公司迄今未在证券市场挂牌上市，“格兰仕不是资本型企业，也没有义务向国际机构公布财务数据。”该新闻宣传负责人员称，一些国外评估机构并不了解中国市场环境，也不了解中国企业，所做出的评估结果并不客观，不足以让人信服。
