What this metric measures
EU Paris-aligned Benchmark exclusion status is a criterion-specific table assessing whether an undertaking is excluded under the applicable administrator methodology and legal edition, with observed evidence and thresholds kept separate.

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.

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 consolidated as of 19 January 2026, Articles 12 and 13.
- Benchmark administrator, benchmark or assessment scope and assessment date
- Applicable consolidated legal edition and Article 12 criterion
- Criterion status as excluded, not excluded or indeterminate
- Observed value and legal threshold stored separately using the same criterion-signed unit
- For revenue thresholds, numerator as criterion-related revenue and denominator as compatible total revenue, expressed as a percentage
- For electricity intensity, grams of CO₂e numerator and kilowatt-hour electricity denominator
- Evidence source, data period, estimation flag and administrator methodology
- Missing evidence or incomplete criteria represented as indeterminate with a reason
Record-specific limitations
- Eligibility can vary with assessment date, source data, estimation approach and administrator application.
- Not excluded is not a sustainability endorsement, and indeterminate must not be treated as not excluded.
- Categorical evidence, percentages of revenue and electricity emissions intensity are different criterion units.
- An overall result requires complete criterion rows and an admitted legal decision method; this record does not execute that method.
- The legal consolidation and administrator methodology must be rechecked before use.
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.
