Driving the global shift towards transparency and accountability in corporate ownership and control
About us
Open Ownership is driving the global shift towards transparency and accountability in corporate ownership and control. Open Ownership enables beneficial ownership disclosures which are accurate, well-structured, complete and machine-readable. We support governments to make high-quality beneficial ownership data available, and work with governments, businesses and citizens to use it. This reduces risks such as corruption and tax evasion, and builds trust and development opportunities. To achieve this we focus on three interconnected priorities: • Technical assistance to implement beneficial ownership transparency • Technology and capacity to use beneficial ownership data • Research and global policy influencing

In case you missed it, news from the #Philippines: In what has been heralded as cutting-edge legislation in the Philippines, all bidders, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, contractors, and consultants that wish to participate in government procurement are now required to disclose their beneficial owners. This is in line with the goal of legislators to enhance transparency and ensure greater accountability in bidding.

Interesting new piece on strategic philanthropy and good governance in the Stanford Social Innovation Review by Tim Hanstad of the Chandler Foundation. Thank you for mentioning the work of Open Ownership, Tim.
Governments are the most important levers for determining the social and economic outcomes of their citizens. As such, good governance is crucial; and both philanthropy and civil society ought to be more engaged with governments, focusing on achieving good governance, rule of law, cultures of integrity, and strong public service delivery. Thrilled to have Stanford Social Innovation Review publish my article about why and how philanthropy can support good governance, instead of limiting itself to merely filling in the gaps left by government failure. Philanthropy can and should support NGOs that are constructively engaged with governments in system-changing efforts to improve the quality and capabilities of governments. https://lnkd.in/g3wBhsMs The article, responds to and build on a thoughtful earlier piece Mark Kramer and Steve Phillips. I point out that where we have seen major, population-level, and systemic advances in social and economic well-being, governments have been the primary driving force. Philanthropy must do a better job of replicating these advances by supporting more effective governance through: -Tackling Corruption -Strengthening civil service capabilities: -Increasing transparency and accountability -Strengthening rule of law -Building data policy feedback loops -Supporting ethical leadership -Strengthening digital public infrastructure -Strengthening land and property rights systems Failing to strengthen governance will undermine all of our other investments in building a better future.
