TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH Definition Transparency Transparency is the final outcome of a set of actions, procedures and methods that make a decision making process, all its steps and elements and the final result visible, (easy) understandable and retraceable for everyone interested, from the initiation stage until the last point. This requires generally accepted and accessible guidelines, rules and regulations, a clear, observable and universally valid structure of the process, permanent access to all information needed during the process as well as the proper documentation and publication of the final decision and the reasons behind. Transparency requires that there are no hidden agendas or conditions in the process and that the process runs neutral, independent, free of particular interests and influence from the outside th CDM Joint Coordination Workshop, Kleiser, Thomas4
