Supplier social-impact assessment and response profile

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Supplier social-impact assessments and their source-reported significant actual, potential or mixed findings, improvement agreements and relationship terminations, kept as distinct count, impact and response fields with explicit supplier populations and methods.

Reporting boundary

Suppliers assessed, suppliers with findings, impact findings, improvement agreements and terminations are separate quantities. A supplier with several findings is one supplier in a deduplicated supplier count but can have multiple impact records. Actual and potential findings remain separate or explicitly mixed. Percentages are non-additive and remain source reported.

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.

Framework coverage

This is one canonical metric. The bindings below show every verified framework occurrence without creating duplicate metric pages. Edition, disclosure, role, and relationship remain source-specific.

Unit meaning: Each table field uses its stated unit. This record contains several non-interchangeable quantities and states; suppliers assessed, suppliers with findings, findings, agreements, and terminations remain separate.

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: GRI 414: Supplier Social Assessment 2016 — 2016 edition. Retain the exact source edition on every observation; later editions require a separate method profile.

  • Source profile and edition.
  • Reporting entity and boundary.
  • Supplier tier and stable identifier.
  • Supplier location.
  • Assessment method, scope, assessor, criteria, date and significance threshold.
  • Assessed/not-assessed state.
  • Impact topic.
  • Actual, potential or mixed-not-separable actuality.
  • Retain the exact measurement-source edition with every observation.
  • This record contains several non-interchangeable quantities and states; suppliers assessed, suppliers with findings, findings, agreements, and terminations remain separate.

Record-specific limitations

  • Assessment coverage and criteria can be selective.
  • Supplier tiers and locations can be incomplete.
  • Agreed improvements do not prove completion or effectiveness.
  • Termination can shift impacts rather than remedy them. Findings do not equal affected-person counts, legal violations or certified supplier status.

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.
