Aggregation
Do not add or average different expression forms. Monetary amounts may be summed only across non-overlapping management populations with the same currency, scale, period and linkage definition; percentages require recomputation from compatible numerators and denominators.

No single formula

Preserve the source-permitted expression form and its supporting fields. When a percentage is reported, retain its compatible numerator and denominator rather than averaging published percentages.

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: NZ CS 1, NZ CS 2 and NZ CS 3 issued 14 December 2022; NZ CS 2 consolidated through November 2025 adoption amendments

  • Reporting entity, reporting period and organizational boundary
  • Management population, role classes and included remuneration components
  • Climate-related risk or opportunity linkage criteria and applicable incentive arrangements
  • Expression form and, where quantitative, the unit, currency, scale, numerator and denominator
  • Applicable NZ CS 1 edition, reporting boundary, period and application basis

Record-specific limitations

  • Percentage, weighting, narrative and monetary-amount disclosures are different representations and are not directly interchangeable.
  • The NZ CS 1 management population can differ from an executive-management population used by another framework.
  • Differences in remuneration components, linkage criteria, denominator and timing can materially limit comparability.
  • A narrative disclosure, unavailable amount or inapplicable result must not be represented as zero.

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.
