Supplier relationships terminated after significant negative social impact assessment
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Source-reported percentage of suppliers identified with significant actual or potential negative social impacts whose relationships were terminated after assessment, preserving the reason and period without presenting termination as remedy.
Specification

- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- Identified social-impact suppliers with relationships terminated (%)
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period or measurement date declared by the source method
- Aggregation
- Do not sum or arithmetically average reported percentages, rates, ratios, or averages; consolidate only from compatible component observations under a disclosed method.
- Pillar

Reporting boundary
Source-reported percentage only. Relationship termination counts are not finding counts. Partial and complete terminations remain separate. Percentages and reason-category views are non-additive.

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
- Termination does not establish remedy, responsible disengagement, impact cessation or improved conditions. It can create additional harms or transfer the relationship. Reasons and termination scopes can be commercially sensitive and inconsistently reported.
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.
