Comprehensive, but "best before" expired on some parts such as Finland which I was able to check for myself, information on more than 13,000 [[companies]] and over 21.000 [[brand]]s around the world. Transnationale does not discern between [[brand]] and [[product]] but lists all products as "brands".

They report social and environmental behaviour, financial data, list of brands, membership to the most influential lobbies, public relations and opinion making, managers name and position, shareholders and subsidiaries, plants locations and offshore centers, brand and corporate image management.

It seems that as of 2012 transnationale no longer requires membership to access all of the data. 

The site contains [[ads]] and asks for donations.

They are using static HTML and DB generated pages. Their research seems to be of high quality and special effort has been put to the internationalization.

The people behind transnationale have also marketed their other domains such as <s>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://ethishop.org ethishop.org]</s> and <s>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://consupedia.org consupedia.org]</s> In the main transnationale site there are still links to these two extinct sites.
