The Rule of Law
The rule of law is the principle defining that no one is above the law. We support the principle that is intended to safeguard both dictatorships and anarchy. Our business is driven by the same vision and we focus on advancing the rule of law so we can contribute to building a peaceful and prosperous society.
For any rule of law to be effective, there must be equality under the law, transparency of the law, an independent judiciary, and access to legal remedies. However, about 57% of the world’s population lives outside the shelter of the law which means close to five billion people are struggling for basic, human rights on a daily basis.
Our Mission

Combining our amazing content, technology, and expertise, we value the opportunity that we’ve got to shape a more just world for ourselves, our customers, our communities, and the people around us.
