Governance-body membership by executive status
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Count of members of a specified governance body by executive, non-executive or unclassified status at a declared reference date, preserving person-versus-membership basis, board system, vacancies and overlapping service across bodies.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- Governance-body memberships (occupied seats)
- Reporting basis
- Reference-date snapshot or explicitly reported period-average basis
- Aggregation
- Combine executive and non-executive counts only when categories are disjoint and exhaustive for the same body, unit and date; snapshots are non-additive over time.
- Pillar
- Governance
- Topic
- Governance body composition and oversight
- Controlled domain
- Governance and business conduct
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Authorized seats, occupied memberships and individual people are separate quantities. A person on multiple bodies can be counted once per membership but requires deduplication for a person-level view.

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.

Record-specific limitations
- Membership count does not measure independence, competence, diversity, workload, participation, effectiveness or authorized capacity.
- Vacancies and co-opted or alternate roles affect comparability.
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.
