Who are we?
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is an international association that includes over 50 member countries and over 70 supporting companies. We believe that a country’s natural resources belong to its citizens. Our mission is to promote understanding of natural resource management, strengthen public and corporate governance and accountability, and provide data to inform policymaking and multi-stakeholder dialogue in the extractive sector.
Our unique multi-stakeholder model brings together government, civil society and business representatives on a single EITI platform with equal footing to improve natural resource governance. Member countries implement the 2023 EITI Standard, recently updated with new provisions on energy transition, anti-corruption and gender equality.

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is the global standard to promote the open and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources. Guided by the belief that a country’s natural resources belong to its citizens, the EITI has established a global standard to promote the open and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources. The EITI Standard requires the disclosure of information along the extractive industry value chain from the point of extraction, to how revenues make their way through the government, and how they benefit the public. By doing so, the EITI seeks to strengthen public and corporate governance, promote understanding of natural resource management, and provide the data to inform reforms for greater transparency and accountability in the extractives sector. In each of the 55 implementing countries, the EITI is supported by a coalition of government, companies, and civil society. The EITI is committed to achieving diversity in terms of gender, nationality, culture and educational background. The EITI is an equal opportunities employer. |
