The council obtained this outstanding rating through the evaluation of the right to access public information (IADAIP) and the active publicity index (IDPAC). The Ombudsman's office assesses aspects such as accessibility, effectiveness, updating, and the quality of institutions in managing public information.
The mayor of Castellbell i el Vilar, Adrià Valls, highlighted the good score, stating that it "reinforces all the work done by the Town Council to be more accessible and ensure a constant flow of information." He also acknowledged "the involvement of the council's staff for their work in complying with these transparency standards."
Law 19/2014 on transparency, access to public information, and good governance designates the Ombudsman's office as the competent body to evaluate compliance with transparency obligations by Catalan administrations.
