Reporting boundary

Gross investment exposure inside the declared insurance-investment perimeter at the reporting date, reported for each industry by asset class. Funded carrying amounts are measured before loss allowance, and full undrawn commitments are kept separate from drawn amounts.

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.

  • Gross-exposure definition and investment perimeter.
  • Required asset classes: Loans, bonds, equity investments and undrawn loan commitments.
  • Reporting date, currency and scale.
  • Netting, exclusions and currency-translation treatment.
  • Funded carrying amounts before loss allowance and full undrawn commitments reported separately from drawn amounts.
  • Selected industry-classification system and version.
  • Why the selected classification system enables users to understand exposure to climate-related transition risks, including whether a commonly used system was prioritised.

Record-specific limitations

  • Gross exposure is not an emissions amount and must not be interpreted as climate impact.
  • Currency translation, netting and exposure definitions can break 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.
