Employees with disabilities reported share

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Reported percentage of employees identified as persons with disabilities under the stated lawful collection method, jurisdictional definition, employee denominator and measurement basis.

Specification

Metric specification

Result format
Structured table
Unit
Percentage of employees (%) and supporting employee headcount
Reporting basis
Measurement date or source-declared period-average basis
Aggregation
Do not sum or arithmetically average reported percentages, rates, ratios, or averages; consolidate only from compatible component observations under a disclosed method.

Reporting boundary

Keep jurisdiction rows separate where legal definitions or collection methods differ. Counts may be combined only after population, date and definition compatibility checks. Do not average percentages. A consolidated percentage requires compatible numerators and denominators, not an average of country percentages.

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.

Unit
Percentage of employees (%) and supporting employee headcount
Reporting basis

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.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772, consolidated 1 January 2025 — Consolidated 1 January 2025 edition; GRI 405: Diversity and Equal Opportunity 2016 — 2016 edition. Retain the exact source edition on every observation; later editions require a separate method profile.

  • Reporting entity.
  • Country or jurisdiction.
  • Employee population.
  • Headcount basis.
  • Measurement date or averaging basis.
  • Disability definition and authority.
  • Voluntary self-identification, lawful administrative record, mandatory quota or other declared collection method.
  • Numerator.
  • Retain the exact measurement-source edition with every observation.
  • The percentage uses the declared employees-with-disabilities numerator and the complete compatible employee headcount denominator under the same lawful collection method.

Record-specific limitations

  • Disclosure may be restricted by law.
  • Disability definitions differ.
  • Voluntary disclosure can undercount.
  • Quota data and survey data are not interchangeable.
  • Disability must not be inferred from leave, accommodations, medical claims, job titles, names or other proxies.
  • Small groups may require suppression.

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.
