Become a Member
As a member of Transparency International Greenland, you will be supporting the struggle to prevent corruption taking root in the Greenlandic society.
National legislation is designed to ensure that all citizens in a society have the same rights. Corruption implies that in one way or another, some individuals, organisations and businesses are able to circumvent the law and obtain opportunities that are not available to other citizens. This creates inequality and denies to people with few resources and limited networks the opportunities that others can buy. It is therefore important and relevant for you as an individual to support Transparency International Greenland and to join as a supporting member, and thereby help to ensure that all members of society have the same opportunities, regardless of who they know and what resources they have.
As a company, you also have an interest in fighting corruption. Corruption distorts competition, as competition in a society plagued by corruption no longer works under market conditions, i.e. it is no longer the companies with the lowest prices and best quality that obtain the orders, but rather those with the best contacts and the resources to bribe the appropriate bodies.
In addition, with the growing interest in Greenland’s commodities industries, large international companies are moving into the market in Greenland. These companies often demand that their Greenlandic subcontractors have a stated transparency policy. It is therefore also relevant for individual Greenlandic companies to concern themselves with the transparency of their own working procedures. This is an area in which Transparency International Greenland can be of assistance; Transparency International Greenland is therefore also relevant to you as a company.
