جوهر الإفصاح
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain the metrics it uses to track each material sustainability matter, and to show that those metrics are relevant, reliable and used consistently over time. In practice, the report should make clear what is being measured, why those measures were chosen, how they link to the material topics identified, and whether the same approach is applied from one reporting period to the next.
The practical focus is on coverage and comparability: readers should be able to see whether the metrics cover the whole organisation, specific business units, sites or value-chain activities, and whether any important parts are excluded. If the organisation uses different measures for different operations or locations, it should explain the scope and any limitations so users can understand how complete the picture is.

What figures, methods and supporting notes do we need to explain each material sustainability metric clearly and consistently?
Use your organisation’s own names for measures, reports and systems first, then map them to the reporting disclosure. Ask for the business terms people already use, not the framework label.
طلب ضعيف
Please provide the ESRS 2:GDR-M metrics, including the metric value, unit of measurement, calculation methodology, sources/inputs used, estimation method, assumptions, limitations, contextual information, change vs prior period, and progress toward targets.
لماذا يفشل: It uses framework language that many internal owners will not recognise, so it is harder to action. It also reads like a compliance checklist rather than a practical request for the team’s own report, system output, and explanatory notes.
طلب أفضل
Please send the latest performance figures and the notes your team already uses to explain them for [period] and [scope]. Include the value, unit, how it was built, the source report or system, any estimates, assumptions, limits, context, movement since last period, and progress against target. Use your normal business terms first, then we will map them to the reporting pack.

| We present the figure using a sensible scale, including metric prefixes where that makes the number easier to read. | The assurer may check whether the scale choice is consistent, whether the prefix is used correctly, and whether the same basis is applied across the table or chart. | Working papers showing the raw number, the scaled presentation, the unit chosen, and the review sign-off that confirms the display format was checked before publication. |
| We included the values for the metrics we judged relevant to the material issues, including any company-specific measures we use internally. | The assurer may probe whether any relevant metric was left out, whether the selection matches the material topics identified elsewhere, and whether internal measures were included only where they genuinely relate to those matters. | The metric inventory, the materiality assessment, mapping from material topics to reported measures, and evidence of the internal performance measures used to track actions or outcomes. |
| For each metric, we recorded the unit, the calculation method, and the source data or inputs used. | The assurer may test whether the unit is clear, whether the method is reproducible, and whether the inputs are complete, current and traceable to source records. | Method notes, calculation sheets, source-system extracts, data dictionaries, and a control trail showing who prepared and reviewed each metric. |
| Where a metric needed estimation, we documented how the estimate was built, the main assumptions, and the known limits of the result. | The assurer may challenge whether the estimation approach is reasonable, whether key assumptions are supported, and whether the limitations are disclosed clearly enough for users to understand the uncertainty. | Estimation methodology papers, assumption logs, sensitivity checks, and evidence of management review of the main judgement calls. |
| For measures based on value-chain information, we noted where we relied on indirect data or proxies and what we plan to improve next. | The assurer may ask whether the use of proxy or secondary information is justified, whether the gaps are clearly identified, and whether the improvement plan is specific and credible. | Data-quality assessments, supplier or other third-party data records, proxy rationale, and the documented plan for improving completeness, accuracy or timeliness. |
| We added context so readers can understand the figure, including why we chose that approach and what assumptions sit behind it. | The assurer may check whether the context is sufficient to interpret the number, whether the chosen approach is explained in plain terms, and whether the assumptions are consistent with the underlying data. | Draft narrative, calculation support, assumption register, and internal review comments showing the context was checked against the final number. |

We report a single group-wide figure for the year, expressed in tonnes of CO2e, and we derive it from metered fuel use, electricity bills, refrigerant logs and supplier activity data using our internal emissions model. For this period, the result is 18,400 tCO2e; the estimate relies on spend-based proxies for 12% of purchased goods where primary data were not yet available, assumes no material change in production mix during the final quarter, and is constrained by incomplete supplier coverage in two upstream categories.
- Compared with the prior year, the figure is 4% lower, mainly because of lower grid electricity use and better refrigerant leakage control.
- Against our reduction plan, we are 38% of the way to the 2030 target, based on the gap between the current result and the target pathway.
Illustrative only: shows how to present a quantified result, the unit, the calculation basis, the data sources, the estimation approach, the key assumptions, the main limits, the business context, the year-on-year movement and progress against a target in one narrative disclosure.
We present one consolidated result for the reporting year in cubic metres, calculated from site meter readings, tanker delivery notes and wastewater invoices, then adjusted through our internal water-balance approach. The reported amount is 126,000 m3; where direct readings were missing, we estimated 9% of the total using seasonal occupancy patterns, assumed normal trading hours across the estate, and note that the figure is less precise for leased sites with shared utilities.
- The year-on-year change is a 7% reduction, helped by fixture upgrades and lower wash-down demand.
- This leaves us 52% of the way toward our 2028 water-intensity goal, measured against the remaining distance to the target.
Illustrative only: shows a plain-language narrative that covers the measured result, the unit, how the number was built, the inputs used, the estimation approach, the assumptions, the main constraints, the operating context, the movement from the prior period and the position against a target.

سيناريوهات للتمرّن
Your team has calculated water use for a material environmental topic using meter reads from owned sites, but the draft note only shows the final figure. A reviewer asks how the number was built and where the underlying data came from.
For a greenhouse-gas estimate, part of the data was unavailable for one site, so the team used a proxy based on floor area and utility spend. The draft note mentions the estimate but does not explain the shortcut or its weaknesses.
A social metric on training hours is reported this year in hours per employee, while last year it was shown as total hours. The team also has a target to raise average hours, but the draft only gives the current number.
A biodiversity indicator combines supplier data, internal site records and a modelled estimate for missing locations. The draft note gives the total but leaves out the fact that some locations were estimated and why the team believes the figure is still useful.

الأسئلة الشائعة
أسئلة تجيب عنها هذه الصفحة
Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the datapoints to prepare. The page is designed to help you turn source data into a draft disclosure, not to replace your internal reporting process.
The page points you to reported figure, measurement unit, calculation approach, input sources, estimation approach, key assumptions, known constraints, reporting context, period-on-period movement and target progress. Use that list as your collection checklist so you can build the disclosure from complete inputs.
Use the page’s preparation steps and the datapoints list to define what is being reported, how it is measured and how it is calculated. The page also prompts you to capture the reporting context, assumptions and known constraints so the scope is clear in the draft.
The page does not assign roles for you, but it is set up for a sustainability/ESG manager, HR or data owner, and assurance reviewer to use together. In practice, you would assign ownership for the reported figure, the calculation method, the evidence pack and the final review.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items to support assurance readiness, alongside six assurance claims to verify. Use those sections to assemble the documents and checks that show the figure, method and assumptions are supported.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes so you can check for missing inputs, weak explanations or unsupported figures before drafting. It is best used as a pre-submission quality check rather than as a substitute for your own controls.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format and a printable Library Card in .pdf. Use the workbook to organise the datapoints, evidence and assurance checks, and use the PDF as a quick reference while drafting.
Yes, but only as a worked illustration. The page says the example is synthetic, so use it to understand structure, data presentation and narrative style rather than copying it as a real disclosure.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line to help you convert the data into report-ready text. Use those prompts to explain the figure, movement, assumptions and context in a concise way.
The page includes a 'From company reports' table that links to real published reports at the pages where the topic is disclosed. Use it to see how others present similar information, but keep your own disclosure based on your organisation’s data and context.
