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.

Structured table
Unit
Governance-body members (people) and percentage of members (%)

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.

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: GRI 405: Diversity and Equal Opportunity 2016 — 2016 edition, effective for reports published from 1 July 2018; GRI 2: General Disclosures 2021 — 2021 edition, effective for reports published from 1 January 2023. Retain the exact source edition on every observation; later editions require a separate method profile.

  • Reporting entity.
  • Named body and body type.
  • Person or membership basis.
  • Indicator name and definition.
  • Source-native category.
  • Lawful source or self-identification method.
  • Jurisdiction and collection purpose.
  • Reference date or average basis.
  • Retain the exact measurement-source edition with every observation.
  • Each row reports members in one precisely defined and lawfully collected source-native category and, where supplied, its percentage of the compatible complete governance-body population.

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.
