Goals

The online ownership transparency platform provides a clear framework for companies wishing to commit to achieving ownership transparency. Primary users of the platform include a mix of SMEs, multinational businesses and civil society. The majority of commitments come from SMEs, often with a tech focus.

The platforms' goals are to:

  • Provide practical guidance to business on how to increase transparency within their businesses and through their supply chains as well as guidance for investors to make responsible investment decisions and safeguard investment risks through beneficial ownership transparency.
  • Provide frequent updates on current news, legislation, and company action on beneficial ownership transparency.
  • Create a network of business support around ownership transparency. The first goal is to establish a benchmark of what the legal practices are on a global scale with regard to pre-trial solutions.
