Kern der Offenlegung
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain the main actions it is taking to prevent, detect, address and improve business conduct issues. In practice, that means describing the measures in place, how they are implemented, and what parts of the organisation they cover, rather than only listing policies or commitments.
The practical focus is on whether those actions are embedded across the business and value chain, or limited to a few flagship sites or functions. Report the scope, the type of action, and where it applies, so a reader can see how consistently the organisation is managing business conduct in day-to-day operations.

Daten anfordern
Request the business conduct actions log and supporting evidence
Übersetzen Sie die Offenlegung in eine interne Geschäftsfrage — und passen Sie diese dann an die Sprache Ihrer Organisation an.
What actions, controls and follow-up activity has the organisation put in place to prevent, monitor and address business conduct issues, and what supporting records show how these were applied in practice?
Use the organisation’s own names for policies, controls, training, monitoring, investigations and disciplinary steps first, then map them to the disclosure. Keep the request in business language that the owner already uses internally, and check the source material before sign-off.
Schwache Anfrage
Please provide the ESRS G1-2 actions, prevention measures, monitoring actions, ESG criteria used, training coverage, engagement programmes, procedures, monitoring systems, investigation processes, breaches identified, actions taken and disciplinary measures.
Warum sie scheitert: This is too close to framework wording and bundles many labels without telling the owner what internal records to pull. It does not ask for the organisation’s own terms, source systems, boundary or evidence trail, so the response is likely to be incomplete or hard to map.
Bessere Anfrage
Please send the conduct actions log and the supporting records for [period] from your team’s normal systems. Include the steps already in place to prevent issues, the checks or reviews used to spot problems, any training or supplier engagement activity, and any case outcomes or follow-up actions. Use your own internal labels first, then we will map them to the reporting categories.

Notizen, die aus Daten eine Offenlegung machen
LRA-Schulungsvorlagen — passen Sie sie an Ihre Organisation an und prüfen Sie vor der Freigabe die offizielle Quelle.
Methodenhinweis
State how the organisation defined the relevant scope, what it counted as an action, training, engagement, procedure, monitoring step, or investigation step, and how it determined the basis for any percentages or selections reported.
Kontexthinweis
Explain what the figures show about how the organisation manages the issue in practice, including the extent of implementation, the reach of training, the scale of supplier engagement, and whether the control framework is in place.
Erläuterung zu Schwankungen
If any figures changed materially, note whether that was driven by a wider rollout of controls, a change in the number of people or suppliers covered, a revised selection approach, or a shift in the amount of activity recorded.

|---|---|---|
| We linked the supplier-related actions in this section to the supplier-code material already explained elsewhere in the report, so readers can trace the connection without duplication. | The cross-reference may be incomplete, point to the wrong place, or imply coverage that is not actually supported by the other disclosure. | The final report cross-reference map; the linked supplier-code disclosure; drafting notes showing why the link was made; reviewer sign-off confirming the referenced material matches the claim. |
| We set out the steps we took after any breach or suspected breach of our anti-bribery or anti-corruption rules, using incident records and follow-up actions rather than general policy language. | The narrative may describe policy intent but not actual response actions, or it may overstate how consistently incidents were handled. | Case files for breaches or allegations; investigation logs; remediation plans; disciplinary or corrective-action records; approval notes showing the published wording matches the underlying evidence. |
| We described the anti-bribery and anti-corruption learning given to the roles we judged most exposed, including senior oversight groups and operational managers, and we based the wording on attendance and training records. | The report may overstate who was trained, omit the highest-risk roles, or rely on a training plan rather than completed delivery. | Training matrix by role; attendance logs; course content; completion reports; role-risk assessment used to decide the audience; sign-off that the published description matches the records. |
| We summarised the main business-conduct actions we have started or plan to start, and we included when each step is due, where it applies, and what result we expect from it. | The disclosure may be too vague on timing, coverage, or expected effect, or it may mix completed work with future plans without making that clear. | Action plan or roadmap; milestone tracker; scope notes; expected-outcome statements; management review papers showing the published summary reflects the underlying plan. |
| We explained how we worked with suppliers to lift their sustainability performance, and we supported that wording with supplier engagement records rather than broad statements about partnership. | The report may claim improvement work without evidence of actual supplier engagement, or it may describe commercial contact that did not address sustainability performance. | Supplier meeting notes; improvement plans; correspondence; scorecards or follow-up trackers; internal approvals confirming the published wording is limited to evidenced engagement. |
| We described the controls and follow-up steps we use when corruption or bribery concerns arise, covering prevention, spotting issues, investigation, and response, and we checked that the wording matches our actual process. | The disclosure may omit one stage of the process, describe a process that is not operating in practice, or overstate the maturity of controls. | Policy and procedure documents; incident-handling workflow; investigation templates; escalation logs; audit or testing results; management confirmation that the published description reflects current practice. |

Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.
We are using this synthetic example to show how our group could describe its approach to business conduct oversight. - We have put in place a supplier code, a gifts-and-hospitality rule, and a third-party due-diligence check; we also run periodic reviews to spot issues early and track whether the controls are working. - For supplier screening, we do use environmental, social and governance factors, applying a risk-based scoring method that gives extra weight to higher-spend and higher-risk categories; we also provide anti-bribery and conduct training to 1,260 of 1,500 relevant staff (84%), totalling 2,520 hours. - Our supplier outreach covered 180 of 240 active suppliers (75%); the programme led to 34 corrective plans, 12 supplier exits, and no confirmed cases of repeat non-compliance at year end. - We have defined escalation steps, a case-tracking system, and a formal review route for allegations, with monthly monitoring by compliance and internal audit.
Synthetic illustration only; figures and processes are invented for training purposes and are internally consistent.
This is a synthetic example showing how our group could explain its business conduct controls in plain language. - We introduced a tenant-and-vendor integrity policy, a conflicts register, and spot checks on higher-risk relationships; these are supported by routine monitoring so we can see whether the controls are being followed. - We do use environmental, social and governance factors when choosing service partners, using a weighted review that favours suppliers with stronger labour, safety, and ethics records; we trained 420 of 500 relevant colleagues (84%), for 1,050 hours in total. - Our engagement work reached 96 of 120 suppliers (80%) and produced 19 remediation plans, 7 contract renewals with conditions, and 4 supplier removals after unresolved issues. - We have set out reporting steps, a monitoring platform, and an investigation workflow for concerns, with quarterly oversight by compliance and risk teams.

Szenarien zum Durcharbeiten
A preparer is drafting the year-end note on business conduct actions. The company has rolled out a new anti-bribery process, a supplier engagement programme, and a whistleblowing review workflow, but the draft only says 'we improved controls' without naming what was done.
A company used a mix of ethics, sustainability and supplier-risk factors to choose which staff and suppliers received extra conduct training. The draft report says the selection was based on 'relevant criteria' but does not explain how the group was chosen.
A procurement team ran a supplier conduct programme for 180 suppliers. The draft says 180 suppliers were contacted, but it does not say what changed as a result, and the only training figure available is that 144 staff attended a session out of 160 in scope.
A compliance team has a hotline, a case-tracking tool and a disciplinary process for conduct breaches. During the year, 12 breaches were confirmed, 9 led to retraining, and 3 led to formal sanctions, but the draft only mentions the hotline and omits the follow-up steps.

FAQ
Fragen, die diese Seite beantwortet
Start with the page’s plain-language explainer and the step-by-step preparation section, then work through the listed datapoints. The page is designed to help you turn those inputs into a draft disclosure rather than to act as an official standard.
The page lists the main datapoints to prepare, including actions taken, prevention and monitoring measures, ESG criteria used, training data, supplier engagement, defined procedures, breaches found, corrective actions and disciplinary outcomes. Use that list as your collection checklist before drafting.
Use the page’s preparation guidance and the datapoints that refer to coverage, such as training coverage, suppliers in scope and target roles. The page is meant to help you define what is included in your own reporting set before you draft the narrative and table.
The page is aimed at sustainability and ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can evidence the datapoints and explain the methodology. The workbook and evidence-pack sections are there to help those owners coordinate the draft and support review.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items to support assurance readiness, alongside six assurance claims to verify. Use those materials to assemble proof for the claims, the data points and the way the disclosure was prepared.
The page has a section on common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is intended to help you spot missing data, weak scope choices and unsupported claims before finalising the disclosure. It also points you back to the evidence pack and workbook so you can check the draft against your source material.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format to help you organise the disclosure inputs and assurance checks. Use it with the page’s datapoint list, assurance claims and evidence-pack guidance to build a more complete draft.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format, which is there as a quick reference while you prepare the disclosure. It sits alongside the workbook and the page guidance so you can keep the key points to hand during drafting and review.
Yes, the page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table where relevant, to show how the information can be turned into a draft. Treat them as examples only and make sure your own figures and wording stay internally consistent.
The page has a draft-output section with visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. That makes it easier to convert your collected datapoints into a structured draft rather than starting from a blank page.
