Academic perspectives
“I can see academic institutions establishing research streams to gather, quality-check (for example consistency around units of measurement for comparability), and integrate the raw data into a public platform such as WikiRate — On the other end of the pipeline, I see great value for experienced academic researchers analysing and contextualizing this data on a public platform where the source data is fully accessible for scrutiny by peers.”
-Jonas Haertle, United Nations Global Compact Principles for Responsible Management Education

4The WikiRate Project
NGO perspectives “NGOs like Oxfam can use aggregated — and contextualized — data as a campaign point. Instead of us having to do the heavy lifting of pulling all the data together in one place and pushing companies to post policies on neglected subjects, this could happen on a neutral platform, so NGOs can do what we do best — expose what the data reveals, and campaign for improvements.”
-Rachel Wilshaw, Ethical Trade Manager, Private Sector Team, Oxfam
