Transparency and the rendering of accounts are the fundamental values upon which the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is built. For this very reason, ever since the very beginning – firstly with the President’s Reports and subsequently, under the current format, with the Annual Report and Accounts – we have periodically reported upon the multiple activities that we undertake and which, over the years, have expressed the priorities that we have adopted as our own. This is not some uncritical ritual that we  perform as a result of a formal or legal obligation to which we are subjected. The publication of this report forms an essential part of the Foundation’s decision-making process since it allows us to carry out a continuous and ongoing assessment of both the scale and the impact of our interventions.
