Material formativo de LRA · No emitido ni avalado por European Commission
Foco de la divulgación
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how it covers its own workforce with social protection arrangements. In practice, that means describing whether employees and other workers in the workforce have access to protections such as social security or equivalent benefits, and whether that coverage is provided consistently across the organisation’s operations and locations.
The practical focus is not just on whether a policy exists, but on how far it reaches in reality. Report whether coverage applies to the whole workforce or only certain groups, countries, sites, or contract types, and make clear any gaps, exclusions, or differences in treatment that affect who is protected and where.

Preparación
Información clave que preparar
| Campo de preparación | Qué recopilar | Pista de evidencia | Responsable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage status | Record whether the workforce is covered by the relevant protection arrangement, using a simple yes/no answer for the reporting period. | Policy schedule, benefits register, insurer or scheme confirmation, and HR/benefits records showing who is enrolled. | HR / Benefits |
| Covered event types | List the kinds of events the arrangement protects against, limited to the events actually provided for in the source record for the period. | Plan terms, policy wording, insurer certificate, or scheme summary showing the event categories included. | HR / Benefits |
| Uncovered countries | Identify the countries where the arrangement does not apply, based on the current coverage map for the reporting period. | Territory schedule, insurer exclusions, local plan matrix, or country-by-country benefits register. | HR / Benefits |
Cómo prepararlo
Solicitar los datos
Request the social protection coverage data from People Operations
Traduzca la divulgación a una pregunta de negocio interna y adáptela después al lenguaje propio de su organización.
Which parts of our workforce are covered by social protection arrangements, what types of life events or risks are included, and where do we still have no coverage in place?
Use your organisation’s own terms first, then map them to the disclosure. For example, if you talk about benefits, welfare cover, statutory schemes, or local insurance arrangements internally, use those labels in the request and only translate them afterwards for reporting. This is a possible LRA training template; adapt it to your organisation and check the official source before sign-off.
Solicitud débil
Can you fill in the ESRS S1 social protection disclosure for us, including coverage, events covered, and countries without coverage?
Por qué falla: It uses framework language that many operational teams will not recognise, and it does not say which people, countries, systems, or internal labels to use. That makes it harder to pull the right records and increases the risk of inconsistent answers.
Solicitud mejor
Please send the workforce protection summary for [reporting period] for [population boundary]. For each country or worker group, tell us whether cover exists, what it includes in your own team’s terms, and where there is no cover. If the data comes from more than one system, include the source for each line and flag any gaps or assumptions.

|---|---|---|
| We built the coverage figure from our own employee records and payroll files, then checked which people were in scope at the reporting date and which locations were included. For the countries we operate in, we mapped where social protection arrangements were in place and where they were not, using a documented country-by-country review. | An assurer will probe whether the scope was set consistently, whether all relevant countries and worker groups were included, and whether the coverage figure could be overstated or understated because of missing entities, duplicate records, or inconsistent cut-off dates. | Population extracts used for the calculation; payroll and HR source files; the scope memo showing which entities, countries and worker categories were included or excluded; the country-by-country mapping of social protection arrangements; version control or sign-off showing the final cut-off date and any adjustments. |
| We separated the disclosed figure from any estimates by tracing it back to underlying records and by documenting where local data had to be normalised before consolidation. Where a country used a different scheme or classification, we recorded the basis for treating it as covered or not covered so the same rule was applied across the group. | An assurer will test whether the data was comparable across countries, whether local classifications were translated consistently, and whether management judgement was applied in a way that could bias the result. | Data transformation notes; mapping tables between local categories and group reporting categories; reconciliation between local submissions and the consolidated figure; documented judgement papers for any ambiguous cases; review evidence showing the same rule was applied across locations. |
| Before publication, we checked the figure against headcount totals, reviewed exceptions, and investigated any unusual movements from the prior period. We also had the underlying working papers reviewed by a second person so that the final disclosure matched the supporting files. | An assurer will look for evidence that the final number was independently checked, that anomalies were investigated, and that the published disclosure agrees to the source workings without unexplained differences. | Reconciliation to headcount and other control totals; exception logs and follow-up notes; prior-period comparison analysis; reviewer sign-off or evidence of independent review; final working paper pack and the published disclosure showing consistency with the support. |
| For the part of the disclosure dealing with gaps in protection, we used a documented list of major life events and checked each country against that list using local policy documents and benefit summaries. Where a gap existed, we kept the supporting note showing why the event was treated as not covered. | An assurer will probe whether the list of events was complete and applied consistently, whether local documents actually support the coverage conclusion, and whether any gaps were omitted or described too narrowly. | The approved list of major life events used for the assessment; local policy documents, employee handbooks or benefit summaries; the country-by-country assessment matrix; notes explaining any gaps identified; evidence of management review of the final wording. |

Sintéticos, redactados por LRA: no proceden del informe de ninguna empresa ni del texto de ninguna norma.
We say our workforce is covered by our employee protection arrangements, and those arrangements include support for illness, job loss, workplace harm and parental leave. In the countries where we operate, there are 2 where some staff are not covered by one or more of those protections.
- Coverage: yes
- Protections included: sickness, unemployment, injury and maternity
- Countries with gaps: 2
This example shows a simple narrative way to state whether the company’s own arrangements apply, which kinds of life events they address, and how many countries still have gaps.
Our group does not yet provide full protection across every location, so the answer on coverage is no. The package we do have covers illness, unemployment, injury and maternity, and there are 5 countries where at least one of those protections is missing.
- Coverage: no
- Protections included: sickness, unemployment, injury and maternity
- Countries with gaps: 5
This example shows how to report a partial position: state the overall yes/no outcome, list the life events addressed by the arrangements, and give the number of countries where coverage is incomplete.

Escenarios para trabajar
A group of 120 employees is split across three countries. In two countries, the company pays into public or private schemes that cover illness, job loss, workplace injury and parental leave; in the third country, only 18 of 40 workers have any such cover through the employer.
A preparer is drafting the note for a multinational group and finds that one subsidiary offers sickness and injury cover, while another only provides injury cover and no support for unemployment or maternity-related absence. The team is unsure whether to list every event separately or use a broad label.
A company has operations in five countries. Four countries have employee social insurance arrangements, but in one country the local labour market is informal and the employer has no scheme in place for its 15 staff there. The draft note currently says only that the group has ‘broad coverage globally’.
A preparer has data showing that 78 of 90 workers in Country A are covered, 50 of 50 in Country B are covered, and 0 of 12 in Country C are covered. The team wants to report only the two countries with cover because the third one is sensitive.

Preguntas frecuentes
Preguntas que responde esta página
Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the three datapoints to prepare: coverage status, covered event types and uncovered countries. The page is designed to help you turn those inputs into a draft disclosure and an assurance-ready evidence pack.
The page says to prepare three core datapoints: coverage status, covered event types and uncovered countries. Use those as the minimum data set before you move into the draft-output section.
Use the page’s preparation section to define what is in scope, then record the coverage status and the event types that are covered. The page also flags uncovered countries, so scope should be clear enough to show where the disclosure does and does not apply.
The page is aimed at sustainability and ESG managers, HR teams, data owners and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can confirm the data and evidence. Use the workbook to assign tasks and keep the evidence pack aligned to the disclosure.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items and four assurance claims to verify. Use those together so each claim has a clear risk and supporting evidence before review.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes to help you spot weak points before sign-off. A practical use is to compare your draft against those gaps and check that the coverage status, event types and uncovered countries are all complete.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the preparation steps, track the evidence pack and support assurance readiness.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is there as a practical reference alongside the workbook when you are preparing the disclosure and checking your draft.
Yes, as a worked illustration only. The page says the example disclosures are synthetic, and the quantitative table is internally consistent, so you can use it to see how the data might be presented without treating it as a real company example.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. Use those to convert your prepared data into a readable draft once the scope and evidence are in place.
