GLEIF Level-2 relationships
Parent/child relationship records as filed with the Global LEI System. lei matches EITHER endpoint. Note the direction convention in the source data: the start node is the CHILD and the end node is the PARENT. Corporate hierarchy as reported to the Global LEI System: accounting consolidation under IFRS/US-GAAP, not percentage ownership and not beneficial ownership. Natural persons are out of scope, and reporting is partial — an absent parent usually means the filer declared a reporting exception rather than that none exists. Plan-gated: requires the can_use_gleif entitlement (Analyst plan and up); non-entitled plans receive 403 PLAN_REQUIRED. Source: GLEIF Golden Copy, published under CC0 1.0. Every response carries meta.attributions[] with GLEIF’s required non-endorsement notice.
