Reporting boundary

Exclude allegations and investigations that remain unconfirmed. Deduplicate one incident across people, actions and any linked public legal matters.

Cross-library identity

Library mappings and variants

These links compare quantity, population, boundary, period, unit, denominator, aggregation, dimensions, and method edition. Partial relationships are navigation aids only and never authorize observation reuse.

This is one canonical metric. The bindings below show every verified framework occurrence without creating duplicate metric pages. Edition, disclosure, role, and relationship remain source-specific.

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.

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.

Use with context

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: GRI 205: Anti-corruption 2016, current effective edition at the research cutoff.

  • Define the confirmation process and incident identity.
  • Exclude open allegations and investigations from confirmed count.
  • Keep response actions and public legal outcomes as separately typed fields.

Record-specific limitations

  • Substantiation does not necessarily mean conviction or public legal finding.
  • The count does not measure corruption prevalence, loss, remedy quality or control effectiveness.

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.
