Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. F.A23.3 specifies directly reportable quantities in tonnes and percent for a defined population of fishing gear and rope, with explicit material and operational-boundary qualifications. The shortlisted GRI records are disclosure-list facts rather than the same physical-material measure.

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.

  • Disclose the material qualification applied, including whether materials are recyclable or biodegradable.
  • Disclose how non-polymer and non-fossil-derived status was determined.
  • Disclose the covered operational activities: fishing, fish trading, fish processing and retail.
  • Disclose the denominator used for the reported percentage of fishing gear and rope.

Record-specific limitations

  • Only gear and rope meeting the stated recyclable or biodegradable, non-polymer and non-fossil-derived material criteria are within the reported measure.
  • The extracted specification does not define a separate calculation method for the reported percentage.

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.
