Why It Matters

What Your Company Gains

"The WOB-AL Index is not a compliance exercise — it is Albania's most visible corporate governance benchmark. Companies that engage gain data, recognition, and strategic positioning with investors, partners, and policymakers."

The annual Report is distributed to development finance institutions and investors. High-scoring companies are featured as sector leaders.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. Participation is completely free for all companies. The Index is funded through WOB-AL's institutional program support from CIPE.

A: Typically 1–2 hours total. WOB-AL pre-fills your questionnaire from public sources. You review, correct errors, and add supplementary governance data your company wishes to include.

A: All scores are published, but companies are positioned in sector context. WOB-AL's editorial approach recognises companies that are progressing. A Baseline rating today is the starting point for a future Gold story.

A: Yes. All participating companies receive a confidential score preview in mid-July 2026, with 5 business days to flag factual errors before publication.

A: Companies that don't respond will be scored on public data only, with a visible desk-research-only flag. Engaging directly lets you include governance policies that significantly improve your score.

A: No — the WOB-AL Index is voluntary. However, Index evidence is used to advance implementation of Albania's Law on Gender Equality. Companies with strong scores are well-positioned if formal governance reporting obligations evolve.
