Big brand owners lack transparency

Honda, Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon and Apple are among the least "transparent" major corporations around the world, according to a new study.

Transparency International, the not-for-profit group, rated how openly the 105 biggest global companies reported their anti-corruption schemes, country-by-country sales and organisational structures.

Financial services firms posted three of the four lowest scores, with the Bank of China on 1.1 points out of ten, the Bank of Communication on 1.7 points, and the China Construction Bank on 1.9 points. Honda, the automaker, shared this latter score.
