Reporting boundary

Count formal registrations during one reporting period. Deduplicate the same matter registered in multiple venues and do not merge it with a finding unless overlap is resolved.

Framework coverage

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.

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 411: Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2016, current effective edition at the research cutoff.

  • State the formal registration basis and venue.
  • Use a case-family key to control duplicate registrations.
  • Report substantiation, remediation and closure only when explicitly evidenced.

Record-specific limitations

  • Registration shows that a formal case exists; it does not prove the allegation, severity, liability, remedy or closure.
  • Indigenous identity must not be inferred, and small or sensitive groups require privacy protection.

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.
