Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: Science Based Targets Network corporate methods: Version 1.0.
- SBTN document and method version applied
- Realm, location or basin, organizational and value-chain boundary
- Pressure, target family, pathway, baseline or reference period and reporting period
- Unit, aggregation, data source, estimation method, exclusions and uncertainty
Record-specific limitations
- Results are not comparable when their realm, basin or location, pressure, target family, pathway, period, unit or method version differs.
- This record represents a measured or structured result and does not convert a method threshold, data requirement or validation rule into an observed company value.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
