There's no accountability without transparency. So why do so many organisations find it so hard to commit to corporate transparency? TISCreport exists to make it easier for ethical organisations to use their transparency to increase their social impact and reduce their risks.
You can’t judge a person’s intentions from a year-old statement..
but that’s how we’re assessing most of our corporations. Corporates are writing more ESG compliance reports than ever (we've aggregated most of them!). The web is flooded with ESG data and technologies and yet..
the planet is still heating up, the sea levels are still rising
human rights abuses are rocketing
and greenwash is polluting our inboxes, media and data centres.
We can't carry on doing what we've always done. It's time to think beyond our silos and do things differently..
After 10 years of tracking corporate compliance behaviours on a global scale we've come to the conclusion that whilst you can mitigate risks from a silo, you can't save the planet.
The world’s greatest challenges—climate change, modern slavery, and systemic inequality—persist because of siloed thinking and fragmented data. Organisations often operate in isolation, either unable or unwilling to collaborate fully, which hinders collective accountability and systemic change. This inertia reflects what is known in Game Theory as a classic coordination problem: no one wants to be the first to act due to loss aversion. Luckily, the world has solved this sort of problem before...
So how exactly can we achieve culturally embedded behaviour change, when legislation (even with proper enforcement) fails?
When China achieved an end to the abhorrent practice of foot-binding, it was eradicated not through the sledgehammer of legislation but through the application of game theory.
By identifying who held the power, in this case the rich families that the poorer families wanted their daughters to marry into, campaigners were able to confront the perception of the payoff prospect of a prosperous marriage head-on. Those rich families stood on a public platform and pledged two things.
The first was to promise that their sons would never marry girls who had their feet bound. The second was to pledge to never bind the feet of their own daughters. Critical to this was that these pledges were made on a public platform where everyone was able to here the pledges at the same time. Within one generation, the practice of footbinding was all but eradicated.
We realised that corporate behaviour change required a similar public accountability space based on shared values to change the game mechanics into a game that can be won.
That is what we created TISCreport to be.
Transparency is the cornerstone of meaningful change. Sharing data publicly creates the accountability necessary to alter behaviour and shift systemic practices. While silos often help organisations mitigate risk, they don’t have to be barriers. By increasing the permeability of the corporate membrane, organisations can influence change both within and beyond their walls.
TISCreport provides a public accountability space where organisations can come together around shared values. By analysing what organisations have done and how they have done it, we influence how they act in the future. Our platform leverages aggregated buying power to drive positive change and uses public profiles to evidence accountability and impact.
TISCreport bridges silos by providing a public platform for transparency and accountability. We aggregate and share compliance and ESG data for the greater good while respecting the need for organisations to retain internal controls. Through our platform, we enable:
Whether you want to collaborate fully or operate with internal controls, we provide the tools to build trust, increase visibility, and take meaningful action.
By fostering transparency and enabling collaborative accountability, TISCreport seeks to:
