Ahead of the 2026 OECD Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum – The Integrity Advantage: Powering Competitiveness and Prosperity (March 2026), we are pleased to have compiled on this page some of Open Ownership’s resources which are ideal for those who want to learn more about beneficial ownership transparency and licensing.

Opening Extractives is an ambitious global programme convened by Open Ownership and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), whose purpose is to catalyse the availability and use of beneficial ownership data. The programme combines political and technical engagement with participating countries to implement reforms on beneficial ownership disclosure in the extractive sector.
