14 July 2025. Wikirate has been added to the Digital Public Goods Alliance’s DPG Registry. A goal of the DPGA is to promote digital public goods in order to create a more equitable world.
Being recognised as a DPG increases the visibility, support for, and prominence of open projects that have the potential to tackle global challenges. To become a digital public good, all projects are required to meet the DPG Standard to ensure that they truly encapsulate open-source principles and what it means to be a digital public good.
Wikirate seeks to make data about corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance open, accessible, and comparable. Through a collaborative, open-source platform, Wikirate empowers citizens, companies, and organizations to collect, share, and analyse ESG data that contributes to holding companies accountable and driving corporate sustainability efforts. By facilitating access to open data and encouraging community participation, Wikirate enhances transparency and helps align corporate behaviour with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For us, being recognised as a digital public good – defined as open source software, open data, open AI models, open standards, and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm, and help attain the SDGs – means amplifying our mission to democratize ESG data. It validates our commitment to openness, collaboration, and impact, and opens new opportunities for partnerships and scaling our efforts to drive systemic change through shared knowledge and transparency.
