Inclusion guidelines

There's currently only one explicit requirement for adding a new company to the list, which is having a page or section on their website describing their commitment to openness and transparency as a core element of the company's operation (rather than as an additional practice parallel to their main business model).

This could be an "about" page, a dedicated "openness"/"transparency" page, a "values" page, or something else along those lines, and should be easily reachable -- either present in the main navigation menu, or otherwise reachable within 1-2 clicks from the home page. See the current list for examples.

Beyond that, the assessment is of course subjective. It can help to try answering the following questions:

  • Can this company be described as following the mantra "share as much as possible, charge as little as possible"?
  • Do they describe why they strive for openness, not merely how?
  • Do they practice several of the (applicable) example criteria described here?
