Verified remedies per apparel supplier labour finding
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Completed, verified remedies divided by compatible supplier labour findings in one declared severity cohort, expressed as a rate while retaining the source-scope ambiguity.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- Corrective actions per compatible finding (rate)
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period or explicitly linked finding cohort
- Aggregation
- Do not average source rates; recompute only from compatible numerator and denominator components under one audit, severity, and reporting cohort.
- Pillar
- Social
- Topic
- Supplier labour conditions
- Controlled domain
- Human rights
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Only completed and verified actions enter the numerator. Numerator and denominator must use the same declared severity and reporting cohort. Plans, agreements, open actions, and unmatched historical findings remain separate.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- Corrective actions per compatible finding (rate)
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period or explicitly linked finding cohort
Unit meaning: A pure rate calculated from compatible action and finding cohorts; it is not multiplied by 100 and is not a percentage.

Formula
R_CA = C ÷ NCalculate only when completed and verified corrective actions and non-conformance findings use the same declared severity cohort and reporting cohort. The result has no percentage multiplier.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
C | completed verified corrective actions | Corrective actions completed and verified for findings in the declared severity and reporting cohort. | corrective actions |
N | non-conformances identified | Compatible non-conformance findings in the same declared severity and reporting cohort as the corrective actions. | findings |
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.

Record-specific limitations
- Do not treat a supplier, facility, audit, finding, action plan and completed action as the same unit.
- Multiple findings can arise from one audited facility.
- An agreed plan is not a completed or verified corrective action.
- Priority and lower-severity findings must not share a denominator unless the source method explicitly requires it.
- Open findings from earlier periods require an explicit cohort rule.
- The source-reported rate scale must be retained rather than assumed to be a percentage.
- The source heading associates the rate with priority findings, while its denominator wording refers generically to non-conformances. This source ambiguity must be disclosed and the rate must not be calculated from mixed severity cohorts.
- No executable use is permitted when compatible numerator and denominator components are unavailable.
- A zero finding denominator has no source-defined numeric result.
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.
