On 1 September 2021, the United Kingdom formally joined the Beneficial Ownership Leadership Group and signed up to the best practice beneficial ownership disclosure principles.

The Beneficial Ownership Leadership Group was established to drive the global policy shift towards free, open beneficial ownership data. Improving the transparency of who owns and controls companies, known as beneficial ownership, builds business and market confidence, helps tackle corruption and criminal activities and can improve governance and public procurement.

Convened by OpenOwnership and Open Government Partnership, you can access further details of the leadership group, its membership and the disclosure principles.
