25 organizations are urging EU lawmakers to ensure open data principles in corporate sustainability reporting

We firmly believe that open data principles are fundamental to the effort to track and measure corporate sustainability disclosures. That is why this week WikiRate joined Clean Clothes Campaign, the Open Apparel Registry and others in launching an open letter urging the European Commission and EU Members of Parliament to adopt and incorporate open data principles in the proposed Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

As of today, 25 organisations have signed up including the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, the Open Data Institute and the Open Knowledge Foundation.

Without open data principles, we cannot ensure that these valuable datasets will be interoperable nor make certain that stakeholders will be able to access the disclosures and collaborate in the creation of new knowledge bases on corporate sustainability in the EU.
