A concatenated data file of all entities which have been issued Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) codes
Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) are global company identification numbers. They are meant to be used in international transactions in the future, backed by an ISO-developed standard.
The GLEIF group assembles a database of all entities which have been issued an LEI and is published as open data on the web.
In order to match GLEIF data with OpenSanctions, we've converted the full GLEIF database to the FollowTheMoney data format used by our system. You can download the raw data and use it in full (updated daily).
This dataset contains entities from a larger database that is used to enrich the data in OpenSanctions with additional details and connections. We only include entities from the source where there is a relevant connection to the entities in the main OpenSanctions database (e.g. to a sanctions target or a politician).
