Reporting boundary

Completion is measured separately for direct-tier and upstream-tier supplier facilities. The denominator is total supplier facilities in the same tier. A partial questionnaire or isolated environmental data point is not a completed qualifying assessment.

Formula

P_t = (A_t ÷ F_t) × 100

For each supplier tier, divide facilities completing the full qualifying assessment by total supplier facilities in that tier. Do not introduce an unsupported eligible-facility exclusion.

Verified sources

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.

  • supplier tier group.
  • supplier facility.
  • assessment method and version.
  • completion state.
  • covered environmental categories.
  • geography.
  • actual or estimated denominator.
  • Reporting entity, reporting boundary, reporting period, source edition, estimation state, and assurance state.
  • Numerator, denominator, zero-denominator state, and rounding method when a derived formula applies.

Record-specific limitations

  • Do not treat a partial questionnaire or isolated environmental data point as completion.
  • Supplier organizations and supplier facilities are different count units.
  • Keep tier denominators separate and retain any upstream estimation state.
  • Equivalent assessment claims require method-scope evidence rather than a label match.
  • Tier results are separate and cannot be averaged without their facility counts.
  • The source supplies no zero-denominator or rounding rule.

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.
