Unit
Structured table — field-level units: Convictions — count; fines — stated currency and scale

Reporting period

Unit meaning: Each table field uses its stated unit. Conviction count and fine amount are separate outputs. Fine amounts require ISO currency, scale, sign and paid, imposed, incurred or recognized timing basis.

Table fields and units

  • Matter
  • Conviction
  • Fine
  • Jurisdiction
  • Outcome
  • Appeal state
  • Fine amount
  • Currency and scale
  • Fine timing basis

Published dimensions

  • matter-family identity
  • conviction identity
  • fine identity
  • jurisdiction
  • court or authority
  • legal basis
  • outcome date
  • appeal state
  • currency and scale
  • fine timing and accounting basis

No single formula

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

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.

Use with context

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated 1 January 2025, ESRS G1-4.

  • Use distinct matter, conviction and fine identifiers.
  • State jurisdiction, legal basis, outcome and appeal state.
  • For every monetary value state ISO currency, scale, sign and timing/accounting basis.

Record-specific limitations

  • A confirmed incident is not a conviction, and a conviction count is not a fine count.
  • Current source text does not itself make paid, imposed, incurred and recognized fine amounts equivalent.

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.
