Transparency
Commercial Disclosure
Commercial relationships remain clearly distinguished from independent editorial judgement. This page explains how — and what each label means.
Our principle
Institutional credibility before short-term monetisation.
OBS Live is funded through sponsorship, advertising, clearly labelled commercial features, commissioned production, event broadcasting, content licensing, research and reports. Scope, deliverables, rights, distribution and reporting are agreed for each engagement — but editorial decisions are never for sale.
Labels you will see
- Partner Content
- Content paid for or supplied by a commercial partner. It is produced to OBS Live presentation standards but is not independent journalism. The partner is named.

- Commissioned country features, Invest In editions and OBS Studios productions created at the request of an institution or company. The commissioning party is named.
- OBS Ecosystem
- Coverage that features a platform, project or person affiliated with the OBS Global Ecosystem — for example One Business Towers, OBS Home or One Business Season.

OBS LIVE 100
Payment, sponsorship, advertising and event purchases do not secure inclusion in OBS LIVE 100. Optional commercial products offered to selected participants are clearly separated from editorial recognition, and an advisory role or commercial relationship does not confer selection authority. Recognition is not an accreditation, professional licence or investment endorsement.
Read the OBS LIVE 100 methodology.
No investment endorsement
Programme exposure does not imply funding or investment endorsement. Coverage of projects — including proposed developments that remain subject to feasibility and approvals — is editorial information, not an offer or solicitation. Commentary on finance remains general editorial information and is not investment advice.
