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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated as of 1 January 2025 and AASB S2 September 2024; later editions require separate method profiles.

  • Amount basis identified as assets or business activities and kept separate
  • ISO 4217 currency code and scale for each aligned-amount cell
  • Percentage numerator as aligned amount and denominator as the compatible applicable asset or business-activity basis
  • Opportunity definition, alignment test and product or service classification
  • Scenario and declared short-, medium- and long-term horizon definitions
  • Financial-statement basis, line item or note and reconciliation reference
  • Non-overlap evidence before combining any amount rows; percentages are recomputed and never averaged
  • Quantification status and reason whenever an amount or share is unavailable

Record-specific limitations

  • Asset and business-activity amount bases are distinct and must remain separate.
  • The disclosed alignment is not realized revenue, forecast profit, avoided emissions, taxonomy alignment or a guarantee of benefit.
  • Results depend on the declared opportunity definition, alignment test, scenario, horizon and denominator.
  • The same asset, activity, product or service can appear in overlapping rows and must not be double counted.
  • Unavailable quantification must be labelled unavailable with a reason and must never be represented as zero.

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.
