Home | Openly Transparency Index

The Openly Transparency Index© is the first measurable standard in corporate transparency behaviour.

Transparency is a measurable business behaviour - and that’s good for everyone.

The Openly Transparency Index© is a diagnostic and a roadmap to lift the corporate mindset from compliance to a culture of positive disclosure.

The Index: 

  • Assesses some 30 data points in four interconnected categories. 
  • Uses a proprietary weighting system that rewards company endeavour toward voluntary, visible, and accessible disclosures. 
  • Offers a benchmark of major companies’ transparency behaviour to inform the market, media, policy makers, and consumers. 
  • Allows individual companies to assess their own integrity behaviours and plan to improve them.

Becoming an Openly Subscriber gives access to Openly’s tools, expertise and Index insights to improve corporate transparency performance.

Transparency is a business behaviour that can be measured and improved by systemic disclosure.

In building the Index, Openly has consulted widely to identify four critical, inter-related elements of a disclosure system, and how they work together, to set a new standard of corporate transparency when dealing with government.

Openly offers leadership and change through Index Report insights

The Openly Transparency Index© will provide a public and regular Index Report, observing the disclosure behaviour of major corporates, as a benchmark for media, policymakers, political and business leadership. 

The Index will also set normative standards of disclosure allowing any companies that interact with government to adopt their own path toward improved transparency and greater integrity. 

In time, Openly will expand its integrity offer to include education on public-private transparency, and integrity advisory support for business.

The Index, and its reports, will recognise and reward company endeavour toward voluntary, visible, and accessible disclosures.

Transparency Index Report

Index Reports - observing the transparency behaviour of corporate leaders and sectors.

Transparency is a measurable business behaviour.

Identifying key trends, each Index Report is intended to stimulate policy, business and stakeholder dialogue about improving transparency to build integrity.

The ASX50 Index Report will be the first, followed by the NZ50, and then ad hoc Index Reports on specific sectors.

  • Openly will compile and release regular Index Reports of leading listed companies through publicly available resources.
  • Each company will be offered the chance to comment and update the assessment, prior to the Index Report being published.
  • Openly Subscribers within each Index Report cohort will have the opportunity to provide input to the Report’s overall findings, share advance insights with their stakeholders, and be part of the leadership dialogue for positive change.

 

Aligning with Openly’s Index of systemic disclosure, observing the improving collective behaviours of leading companies will help rebuild public trust in the dealings between government and business.
