The 2019 EITI Standard requires EITI implementing countries to disclose all contracts and licenses that are granted or amended from 1 January 2021.
This new requirement is reflective of how contract transparency in the extractive sector has become a global norm in recent years. To date, more than 30 EITI countries have disclosed their contracts. Major companies have signified support, and civil society organisations have stepped up their efforts on this agenda.
In 2013, the EITI Standard began encouraging countries to publicly disclose any contracts and licenses that provide the terms attached to the exploitation of oil, gas and minerals. Five years on, over half of EITI implementing countries disclose at least some contracts, and 18 major extractive companies have made statements supporting the practice in some form.

As a prominent multi-stakeholder transparency initiative, the EITI has to take into account the diversity of implementing country circumstances and the divergent (and sometimes conflicting) expectations of different stakeholders. The unique nature of the initiative presents an opportunity to take a leadership role in establishing and communicating good practice in measuring results and impact.
Board Paper 47-5. EITI Board decision 2020-35/BM-47
The paper clarifies the assessment of sign-up steps that countries are expected to address before being designated as EITI implementing countries. The framework clarifies the criteria and evidence that the Board will consider in assessing whether the sign-up steps related to Requirements 1.1-1.5 have been respected.
The transition to a sustainable, decarbonised economy is now reshaping the extractive industries. It will have profound implications for the kinds of data, disclosures and dialogues that will be required to support accountability and good governance. Transparency is also central to international efforts to support the energy transition, including the reporting of emissions and the disclosure of climate risks.
