El average degree of compliance achieved by all entities is clearly insufficient, 34.4%, although there is a great disparity according to the entity, with some achieving very high levels or even full compliance, and others that still present enormous shortcomings. Only 18 of the evaluated entities have a compliance level equal to or greater than 50%. In order to obtain the data of the Mandatory Information Compliance Index (ICIO), the Council evaluates whether or not the entities publish the information to which they are obliged and whether they do so properly (with sufficient degree of updating, accessibility, in reusable formats, etc. ).

The low ICIO obtained by all the private entities analyzed in 2025 is explained, on the one hand, by the Lack of publication of obligatory information: the evaluated entities do not publish 61.3% of them, that is to say they only publish 4 out of 10 obligatory contents.

The mandatory information that is least published by the entities analyzed are the organizational chart, the description of the organizational structure and the profile and professional trajectory of their top managers, as well as the information related to contracts and agreements signed with public administrations and the remuneration of the top managers. Although it is possible that the non-publication of any of these last contents is due to the fact that no activity has taken place in them (for example, no agreements or contracts have been signed with public administrations), the entities do not specify this circumstance in the web portal, so that citizens cannot know the cause of the omission of the information.

On the other hand, the Council has noted that many of these entities do not include references that allow citizens to know the degree of updating of the information published.

By type of entities, within the analyzed sample, in general the level of compliance is much higher among NGOs and sports federations, and much lower in private companies.

The average compliance achieved by the entities evaluated for the second time is higher, and among those that have applied 60% or more of the indications formulated by the Council in its first evaluation, the average increase in the ICIO is 30.5 percentage points. Two entities have applied all the indications formulated by the Council and reach full compliance: the Coordinator of NGOs for Development and Doctors of the World. On the other hand, 36.4% did not apply any of the indications given to them by the institution.

The Council recalls that companies and private entities that receive public funds must strictly comply with the obligations of transparency imposed on them by law. The evaluation work carried out by the Council and the specific recommendations it makes to the obligated subjects contributes to improving compliance and boosting the level of transparency of many of them, however the current law does not provide for a sanctioning regime nor attributes to the guaranteeing bodies coercive powers to guarantee the full observance of the legal mandates.

Which private entities have active advertising obligations under the Transparency Act?

The Transparency Act establishes active publicity obligations for public sector bodies and agencies, but also for private entities that receive a certain volume of public aid or subsidies. In particular, for private entities that receive public aid or subsidies in an amount exceeding EUR 100 000 during the period of one year or when at least 40% of their total annual income is in the form of public aid or subsidies, provided that they reach at least EUR 5 000.

How does the Council carry out the evaluation?

The evaluation is carried out with its own resources and using the MESTA methodology, developed by the Council and by the former State Agency for the Evaluation of Public Policies and Quality of Services (AEVAL). The Council issues an individual report for each of the evaluated entities, in which it includes specific recommendations that allow the entities to improve their compliance index. In addition, it produces an aggregated report with the main data and conclusions extracted. All these reports, as well as the reports in response to the observations made by the entities that have made claims to the interim evaluation reports, are available on the Council's website.

En 2025, el Consejo ha evaluado el cumplimiento en transparencia activa de un total de 392 entidades of different groups of obligated subjects: state institutional public sector entities, public law corporations and private entities receiving grants. This amounts to one Record number in the number of entities evaluated by the institution in one year.
