TURN ON THE FLOODLIGHTS: TRENDS IN DISCLOSURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL LICENCES AND COMPLIANCE DATA
The report finds that South African environmental laws generally lack mandatory disclosure requirements for licences and compliance data, relying instead on the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA). This contrasts with jurisdictions like Australia and Canada, where public registries are more common. Analysis of multinational companies shows they typically disclose information only where legally required. The report recommends making disclosure mandatory for all licence holders and establishing central online public registries.
