Annex: Lists of Top Ten transparent companies

Rome April 3rd, 2017

Press release

Open Corporation Ranking, Top Ten most transparent companies

“If only 10 out of 100 companies we contacted actually answer, we have

a problem!” It was stated by Gabriele Guglielmi, Project Coordinator of the European Project: Open EWC (European Works Councils), a study aimed at developing the first ranking of multinational companies, based on their care for certain social and union issues: respect of workers’ rights, attention to diversity; transparency and accessibility of data and information, sustainability including the environmental one “Even so” states Davide Dazzi, coordinator of the research team, “we are able to publish a list of the top ten most transparent companies. This was possible because, to compare the declarations with the behaviours, the project team has prepared a data gathering sheet, and between December 2016 and February 2017 we have monitored 100 companies. Based on the publicly available information: e.g. company website, sustainability balance, we have then proceeded to precompile the questionnaire. Thanks to this information we developed:

• Quantitative data: the transparency index of the TNC (Transnational company), available on www.opencorporation.org, by Open Polis, includes the ranking of the first 100 companies;

• Qualitative data deriving from the typology of surveyed data, to be published at the press release in Budapest the next 6th of april, a first test of the final Open Corporation Ranking.

The analysis, the answers received, the results gathered, the lists and rankings that, even though they don’t show a definitive result, at least do show the prevalent tendencies, are overlapping during this first test phase, and will have a dual value when the first Open Corporation ranking will be published in autumn 2017:

- Allow the project staff to stabilize process and methodology, also thanks to the first answers received by the companies;

- Maintain a window open that will allow companies that still haven’t

done so to answer, and allow the rest to improve their performance.

The representatives of these one hundred companies, as those of the others that will be gradually added by the project staff or that will offer themselves volunteers to participate in the ranking, from the CEO to the CSR manager, the HR manager or the Communication one, still have the opportunity to showcase what their company is doing in terms of: respecting workers’ rights, attention to diversity, sustainability and transparency and accessibility of data and information.

Brief notes on platform functioning

The Open Corporation web platform is the centre for gathering and spreading information on the project. Corporations that accept the transparency challenge may access a reserved area on the site and insert data regarding their company by simply answering the online questionnaire. Gathered data both autonomously by researchers contrinuting to the project and those given by the companies, will then be published in a traditional form (on the dedicated section of the site) and made available as open data. The current online version corresponds to the first development phase of the methodology and a first core of gathered data and documents (see sections “methodology”, “toolkit”, “open data” and “documents”). During the next months other implementations will follow, corresponding to the future developments of the project, up until the final stable version by the end of 2017.
