The name change is due to the need for the name to go far beyond the transparència (understood as active advertising), and also includes the concepts of participation or good governance, concepts that already have associated services such as Decidim.cat (citizen participation portal), the Ethical Mailbox (channel of alerts or complaints), or the self-assessment service in public integrity (to encourage the evaluation of the system of integrity and the management of the risks of the organizations).
