Wikirate exists to cultivate open company data, but open alone is not enough. The data needs to be understandable, actionable and placed in the hands of decision-makers, who can then push for the changes people and the planet need.

Benchmarks are an essential tool for making company data understandable and actionable. They not only tap into corporate competitiveness by shining a light on how companies perform comparatively but also provide an opportunity to set the bar and communicate good practices. 

Wikirate has therefore translated its mission into metrics and developed the Reporting Integrity Index that outlines what corporate disclosures should entail to ensure ESG data is open and reliable.

The 2025 Index assesses data presentation practices among 50 of Germany’s largest companies in their non-financial reporting. For more details, analysis, and good practice guidance go to: https://wikirate-intl.org/Reporting_Integrity_Index_2025 or download the full report.
