**5.8 Is public access to CSR reporting database required?**

Yes, public access to the CSR reporting database is required. Companies will submit their individual CSR activities to the blockchain network. Other stakeholders or "the crowd" who experience socially acceptable or unacceptable activities of any company firsthand will also submit these activities to the blockchain network. Decentralized and anonymous agents will verify and record data on the blockchain network. All stakeholders will be able to access and read CSR information on the blockchain network. Therefore, a permissionless public blockchain would be the most suitable structure.
