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.

  • Identify the Scope 3 activity being reported separately.
  • Explain that the activity is not covered by the standard Scope 3 category list.
  • Report the associated emissions separately from categorized Scope 3 emissions.
  • Identify the Scope 3 activity reported under the other category.
  • Report the emissions separately from categorized Scope 3 emissions.

Record-specific limitations

  • This reporting item is separate from the required fifteen Scope 3 category results and must not be included as a substitute category.
  • The source does not establish a single mandatory reporting unit in the extracted evidence.
  • This reporting item is separate from the required fifteen Scope 3 category results and must not be used to collapse or redefine standard category boundaries.
  • The source provides an illustrative activity but does not establish a single mandatory reporting unit in the extracted evidence.

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.
