Both WikiRate and Wikipedia are wikis; websites or databases developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content. Wikipedia is part of Wikimedia (a collection of wikis with which WikiRate is not affiliated), and can be described as an online encyclopedia that organizes (mostly free text) articles of information.
Whilst Wikipedia increasingly has overviews related to a company's sustainability as part of these articles, WikiRate goes beyond the surface coverage. Instead, WikiRate hosts data on companies, most of which is structured and standardized data which enables comparison of those companies. Furthermore, on WikiRate all data points must cite public sources, whereas on Wikipedia not all information is referenced.
