Corporate transparency is a critical requirement for a fairer society. To ensure that everyone knows exactly who they are working with – and working for. To tackle corruption and criminality. To protect our democracy. To create a trusted business environment we want to work in – and a society we’d all like to live in.
As the largest open database of companies in the world, our business is making transparent, official company data available to all. Data that can be accessed, analysed and interrogated when and how it’s needed. Data that the world needs.
We aim to be the foundational source for company data globally with a positive impact on society via the OpenCorporates Principles. As part of this, our data is made freely available to the public via our website without charge, and we provide access to our data products to journalists, NGOs and academics for public benefit research free of charge.
