Who is Behind Clean Energy’s Big Names? IACC Session Report

Key recommendations for the future

Use BO data to address corruption risks in mineral licencing, from exploration to major mining projects:
- monitor and legislate to prevent the involvement of PEPs in licences;
- collect and publish BO information at time of licence applications – this is a key moment when countries have the most leverage and public interest is high;
- cross-check BO data that is collected against public registers where possible.
Make BO information available at every relevant stage of the value chain and use it for due diligence, creating disincentives for corruption:
- require BO information from suppliers;
- do not partner with companies that fail to identify ultimate beneficiaries.
Improving BO data quality, accessibility, usability, and interoperability continues to be a priority:
- effective implementation of BOT reforms means taking an iterative approach;
- Zambia and Ukraine are countries that exemplify this approach.
