The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) has published its 2024 Annual Report, including audited financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2024. The report outlines GLEIF’s financial condition, operational highlights, and key developments.
Continuing its commitment to digital trust, GLEIF used verifiable Legal Entity Identifiers (vLEIs) to sign the 2024 Annual Report. The Chair, CEO, and auditors cryptographically signed the document using vLEIs to verify and seal its contents, digitally authenticating the report’s strategic and financial data. Multiple vLEI signatories enhance credibility and make the document tamper-evident.
In collaboration with XBRL International and Amana, GLEIF published the report in both human- and machine-readable Inline XBRL and HTML formats, with GLEIF’s LEI embedded into the financial data. This creates an official business record automatically linked to verified LEI reference data in the Global LEI Index.
A PDF version of the report is also available.

GLEIF Annual Report 2021 GLEIF’s 2021 Annual Report was linked to a pioneering proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration: the first ever use of a verifiable LEI (vLEI). The demo was undertaken while the vLEI technical infrastructure was in development and prior to the issuer qualification program being finalized. As the demo pre-dated the vLEI root of trust inception event, the vLEIs were not chained to the official root of trust. As such, the vLEI credentials issued were revoked once the demo was completed.
GLEIF Annual Report 2020 GLEIF showcased that including an LEI within the electronic signatures of signing officers, will maximize trust in document authenticity and integrity. GLEIF demonstrated how simple this was by embedding its LEI in the signing officers’ digital signatures within its 2020 annual report.
GLEIF Annual Report 2018 GLEIF pioneered the inclusion of an LEI within a digital, machine-readable inline XBRL financial document when it published its 2018 annual report. It became the first official business report globally to automatically link the filing entity to its verified LEI reference data held within the Global LEI Index.
