Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source expressly identifies the number and percentage of suppliers and partners receiving a request for primary GHG emissions data as optional reporting information. It is a distinct supplier-engagement outcome and is not equivalent to the percentage of Scope 3 emissions calculated using supplier primary data.

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.

Source-edition basis: Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, 2011 publication.
- Disclose that the measure is optional supplier/partner engagement reporting under the Scope 3 Standard.
- State the population of suppliers and other partners covered by the reported count and percentage.
- Describe the reporting company's basis for calculating the reported percentage, including the denominator used.
Record-specific limitations
- This is identified as optional reporting in the Scope 3 Standard.
- The source supports a number and percentage of suppliers and partners receiving a request, but does not specify the denominator calculation or require that it be based on emissions, supplier count, or spend.
- This engagement measure does not itself quantify Scope 3 emissions or the share of Scope 3 emissions supported by primary supplier data.
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.
