UNIONE™ Annual Institutional Report
2025
Impact Report

Transparency is not a commitment we make when it is convenient. It is how we earn the trust that legacy arbitration institutions inherited by default. Every number below is reported exactly as it occurred.

2025 by the numbers.

All statistics are for proceedings administered by UNIONE™ during the 2025 calendar year. Figures are verified by UNIONE™'s independent auditor and reported in accordance with the Transparency Commitments in Rules v3.0 Article 62.

Enforceability Certificate distribution - 2025.

Every UNIONE™ award undergoes the Enforcement Readiness Review. This is how 2025 awards were rated - by UNIONE™'s Award Review Committee, independently of any party.

🟢 High Enforceability68%
🟡 Standard Enforceability24%
🔵 Jurisdiction-Specific8%
Why 8% received Jurisdiction-Specific ratings
Awards where enforcement in specific markets - primarily India, certain African jurisdictions, and a small number of MENA markets - presented known procedural complexities. In every case, the Certificate provided specific guidance to the enforcing party on local counsel requirements and enforcement strategy.
ERR completion time
100% of ERRs completed within the 21-day window specified in Rules v3.0 Article 48.5. Average completion time was 14.3 days. The Award Review Committee flagged observations to the Tribunal in 22% of cases - primarily relating to clarity of operative provisions.

Transparency is how trust is built,
not inherited.

UNIONE™ was founded on the conviction that institutional authority must be earned through performance, not assumed through age. Publishing this report - including the numbers that are not perfect - is an expression of that conviction. Institutions that do not publish are institutions that are afraid of what their numbers show.
