In order to expand our mission of ranking the world’s most powerful digital platforms and telecommunications companies on their disclosed commitments and policies affecting human rights, we translate our research materials and work closely with partners to develop adaptations of our methodology, allowing them to evaluate companies that the RDR Index does not currently cover.

Researchers around the world have applied the RDR Index methodology to evaluate companies in a diverse range of countries and regions.

For information on how you or your organization can adapt our methodology to evaluate one or multiple companies in your region, take a look at our Adaptations page.

We thank our partners at Global Voices Translation Services for making this work possible.
