Reporting boundary

Add only disjoint contribution records in one currency and reporting boundary. Direct/indirect and financial/in-kind breakdowns may overlap with totals and must not be double-counted.

Cross-library identity

Library mappings and variants

These links compare quantity, population, boundary, period, unit, denominator, aggregation, dimensions, and method edition. Partial relationships are navigation aids only and never authorize observation reuse.

No single formula

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

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.

Use with context

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 consolidated 1 January 2025, ESRS G1-5, and GRI 415: Public Policy 2016 context.

  • State geography, recipient type, route and financial or in-kind form.
  • State ISO currency, scale and in-kind valuation method.
  • Explain intermediary treatment, inclusions, exclusions and overlap with totals.

Record-specific limitations

  • The amount depends on reporting definition, accounting and valuation rules, jurisdiction and intermediary visibility.
  • It does not measure lobbying cost, influence, policy outcome, legality, corruption risk or alignment with public positions.

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.
