Violation Tracker UK is the new, free-to-use research tool that tracks corporate misconduct.
It’s a massive online database that offers a treasure chest of valuable data that shows a wide range of regulatory infringements by all kinds of companies, throughout the UK.
It provides fingertip access to information on 65,000 cases brought by regulatory agencies that include:
- The Serious Fraud Office
- The Financial Conduct Authority
- The Environment Agency
- The Competition & Markets Authority
- The Health and Safety Executive
- The Pensions Regulator
- The Employment Tribunal
- The Financial Reporting Council
- The Payment Systems Regulator
- HM Revenue & Customs; and over 30 other regulatory agencies.
All the hard work to bring the data together has been done for you – it’s been painstakingly assembled and made available in a remarkably easy-to-access and simple to search way.
And on top of that, it’s available free to use, as a public good – what’s not to like?
Not surprising, then, that Violation Tracker UK has won support from politicians, academics, thought leaders and a wide range of stakeholders, as you can read here.
The phrase “knowledge is power” certainly rings true when it comes to Violation Tracker – you can think of it as “A Transparency Machine” or an “MRI Scanner for Poor Corporate Conduct” or an “ESG Optimiser” or even an “Anti-Greenwash Engine” – it has a multitude of uses and it’s set to play an important part in driving positive, progressive, and purposeful corporate reform.

The database was compiled by a team of UK and U.S. researchers led by the Corporate Research Project of Good Jobs First – the Washington, DC-based NGO that created the original U.S. Violation Tracker. Good Jobs First was founded in 1998 and it is a non-profit, non-partisan resource centre promoting government and corporate accountability.
