Data for change

Governments adopt legislation promoting the use of open data and improving reporting standards for greater transparency and accountability

People and communities are empowered to participate in the movement for greater corporate transparency and accountability

Transparency is the first step to understanding how companies impact people and the planet.

The information that results from it, forms the basis on which informed decisions can be made to change things for the better. But transparency is not only about what information is made available. It is also about how the information is made available.
