Resumen

La divulgación de medidas contra la corrupción en las empresas es una parte importante del reporte de la información no-financiera, la responsabilidad empresarial y los temas Ambientales, Sociales y Gobernanza (ASG). El presente trabajo evalúa el grado de divulgación de los impactos de la corrupción en una muestra de las 26 más grandes empresas chilenas agrupadas en el IPSA.
Para ello, se evaluaron 117 memorias integradas o reportes de sostenibilidad emitidos en el periodo 2018-2022 con un Puntaje de Divulgación Anticorrupción (PDA) creado a raíz de los contenidos del Estándar 205: Anticorrupción de Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Entre los principales resultados, se destaca que, en promedio, la divulgación de la corrupción es baja y el mejor contenido evaluado es la divulgación de confirmación de casos de corrupción, que suelen no haber. El estudio identifica las oportunidades de mejora de divulgación de la corrupción y sugiere la necesidad de aumentar la transparencia de las políticas anticorrupción en las empresas chilenas.
