Global Organization Index
Administrative units
Each organization is geocoded to the exact house number level and assigned to administrative units.
In order to be able to assign the organizations to a geographical region, we use a hierarchical structure inspired by the NUTS system of the European Union. This is structure is comparable across countries. However, in some world regions, the more fine-grained categories do not exist.
