Governance-body member other-diversity profile
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Count and source-reported share of members of a specified governance body under one declared diversity indicator and lawful collection method, retaining category definition, overlap, unknown and privacy-suppression states.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- Governance-body members (people) and percentage of members (%)
- Reporting basis
- Declared reference date or explicitly reported period-average basis
- Aggregation
- Sum categories only when mutually exclusive and exhaustive for one indicator and population; different attributes can overlap and are never summed.
- Pillar
- Governance
- Topic
- Governance body composition and oversight
- Controlled domain
- Governance and business conduct
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Each observation names the body, indicator, category definition, lawful collection method, jurisdiction and privacy rule. Multi-body person views require deduplication, while body-membership views preserve each membership.

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-native category.
- Lawful source or self-identification method.
- Jurisdiction and collection purpose.

Record-specific limitations
- Other diversity has no universal taxonomy.
- Definitions, lawful collection and cultural meaning vary by jurisdiction.
- Small populations increase re-identification risk.
- The profile does not establish inclusion, equality, discrimination or governance quality.
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.
