Words are easy. We measure the practice.

Values Driver is an independent accountability platform that holds Australia's largest companies to their own stated values — judged not by marketing, but by the people who experience them every day.

How it works

01

Companies publish their values

We list each company's own stated values — the words they use to describe how they operate.

02

People who know them rate the reality

Employees, customers, suppliers and community members rate whether they've witnessed behaviour that supports or contradicts each value.

03

Scores are published openly

Each value gets a Values Alignment Score: the share of responses confirming the value is lived in practice.

How the score is calculated

Every value gets a Values Alignment Score that weighs higher-trust submissions more heavily.

Step 1

Submission

Someone submits a rating — Yes consistently, Sometimes, or Rarely or never — with an optional behaviour example and an optional email address.

Step 2

Verification tier assigned

Verified

Email matches corporate domain

Weight 1.0
Plausible

Email provided but not matched

Weight 0.7
Anonymous

No email provided

Weight 0.3
Step 3

Score calculated

A weighted example for one value:

VerifiedYes consistently1.0Positive
PlausibleSometimes0.7Positive
AnonymousRarely or never0.3Negative
Positive weighted total: 1.0 + 0.7 = 1.7
Possible total: 1.0 + 0.7 + 0.3 = 2.0
85%

Verification tiers

Every response is labelled by how strongly we can verify the person behind it, so readers can weigh the evidence themselves.

Verified

The respondent provided an email whose domain matches the company. Strongest signal that the person genuinely works with the organisation.

Plausible

An email was provided but its domain didn't match the company. Still a real, contactable identity behind the response.

Anonymous

No email was provided. The response still counts, but carries the lowest level of verification.

Companies cannot edit or suppress submissions

Organisations have no ability to remove, hide, or alter the responses about them. That independence is the point — accountability only works when the people being held to account don't control the record.
