Objet de l’information
This disclosure asks an organisation to report the numbers that show how it manages corruption and bribery risks in practice. The focus is on measurable information, such as how many relevant incidents, allegations, investigations, training completions, or other tracked events there are, so readers can see whether the organisation’s anti-corruption controls are active and being used, not just described in policy documents.
In practical terms, the reporting should cover the organisation’s full relevant footprint, not only a few well-controlled or flagship locations, unless the scope is clearly explained. The key question is whether the figures reflect the parts of the business where corruption and bribery risk actually exists, including operations, subsidiaries, and other relevant activities, so users can judge the breadth and consistency of the organisation’s approach.

Préparation
Informations clés à préparer
| Champ à préparer | Ce qu’il faut recueillir | Indice de preuve | Responsable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conviction count | Record the total number of convictions that fall within the reporting scope for the period. | Court records, legal case logs, compliance register, or a legal affairs summary that reconciles to the final count. | Legal / Compliance |
| Sanction count | Capture the total number of sanctions that apply to the reporting scope for the period. | Regulatory notices, enforcement tracker, compliance register, or a legal affairs summary that ties to the reported total. | Legal / Compliance |
| Total fines amount | Capture the full euro amount of fines that belong in scope for the period, using the same basis across all included items. | Penalty notices, finance/legal schedule, or an enforcement summary that reconciles to the euro total reported. | Finance / Legal |
Comment le préparer
Demander les données
Request the corruption case metrics from Legal / Secretariat
Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.
How many corruption or bribery cases in the period ended in a conviction, a sanction, or a financial penalty, and what was the total amount of fines in euros?
Use your organisation’s own case-handling terms first, then map them to the reporting fields. For example, if you track matters as investigations, enforcement actions, settlements, or court outcomes, keep those labels in the request and ask the owner to translate them into the reporting view before sign-off. This is a training template only; adapt it to your organisation and check the source disclosure before sign-off.
Demande faible
Please provide the ESRS G1-4 corruption and bribery metrics for the period, including convictions, sanctions and fines, in line with the disclosure.
Pourquoi elle échoue : It uses framework language instead of the organisation’s own case terms, does not say which register or system to pull from, and leaves the counting basis and currency treatment unclear. That makes it hard for the owner to know what to extract and how to map it.
Meilleure demande
Please provide the [period] case outcome data from your [legal case tracker / compliance register] for the [boundary]. We need the number of matters that ended in a conviction, the number that ended in a sanction, and the total fines in euros. Please keep your normal case labels in the extract and add a short mapping note so we can translate them into the reporting view.

Note méthodologique
State how each figure was counted, what was included in the totals, and the reporting period and scope used to compile the three measures.
Note de contexte
Explain what the counts and euro total indicate about enforcement activity in the period, and whether the monetary amount reflects a small number of large cases or many smaller ones.
Déclaration sur les variations
If the figures moved materially, describe the main drivers, such as changes in case volume, case severity, timing of decisions, or one-off events that affected the totals.

Préparation à l’assurance
Pour chaque affirmation, vérifiez les preuves
| Affirmation | Risque | Preuves à vérifier |
|---|---|---|
| We separated out the number of court findings and regulatory penalties linked to bribery or corruption matters for the period, using a clear cut-off date and a single counting rule. | The assurer will check whether the two categories were kept distinct, whether the period boundary was applied consistently, and whether the counting method could double-count the same case. | Case log or incident register; legal/compliance tracker; period-end extraction showing the cut-off date; documented counting methodology; reconciliation from source cases to the published totals. |
| We included only matters that met our internal definition of a bribery or corruption breach, and we applied that definition consistently across all business units before aggregating the figures. | The assurer will probe whether the inclusion criteria were applied consistently, whether any borderline cases were excluded or included without justification, and whether the scope was complete. | Written inclusion criteria; review notes for borderline cases; business-unit submissions; consolidation workbook; sign-off showing the same rule set was used across the group. |
| We based the published numbers on source records held by legal, compliance, and finance, and we checked that each reported item could be traced back to supporting documentation. | The assurer will look for traceability from the published figure to underlying records and will test whether the source files are complete, authentic, and aligned to the final output. | Underlying notices, judgments, settlement letters, or penalty records; finance postings where relevant; traceability schedule; document index; evidence of file retention and version control. |
| Before publication, we reviewed the draft figures against the underlying case files and resolved any mismatches between local records and the consolidated disclosure. | The assurer will assess whether pre-publication checks were performed, whether discrepancies were investigated, and whether the final numbers reflect the corrected source data. | Draft-to-final comparison; review checklist; discrepancy log and resolution notes; approval emails or sign-off memo; evidence of corrections made before release. |
| Where a matter involved more than one outcome, we recorded each outcome separately and checked that the total amount reported for monetary penalties matched the supporting finance records. | The assurer will test whether outcomes were classified consistently, whether the monetary total is complete, and whether the amount agrees to the accounting or payment evidence. | Matter-by-matter schedule; penalty calculation support; payment confirmations or ledger extracts; reconciliation to finance records; reviewer sign-off on the final total. |

Scénarios à travailler
A group’s legal team confirms that one overseas subsidiary was convicted in the reporting year for a bribery-related offence, and a separate regulator issued a financial penalty in the same year for a different anti-corruption breach. The finance team is preparing the year-end disclosure and has to decide how to count each outcome.
A preparer has two matters on file: one ended with a conviction and a fine, while the other ended with a warning letter and no court case. The draft note currently lists both matters under the same heading because both relate to bribery concerns.
During consolidation, one business unit reports a bribery conviction in local currency and another reports a sanction with no monetary amount attached. The group reporting team is unsure whether to leave the euro total blank until all subsidiaries have replied.
A sustainability analyst finds an internal spreadsheet showing three bribery-related court outcomes, but one was overturned before the reporting date and another was still under appeal at year-end. The draft disclosure currently includes all three because they were all mentioned in incident logs.

FAQ
Questions auxquelles cette page répond
The page says to prepare three datapoints: conviction count, sanction count and total fines amount. Use the step-by-step preparation section to turn those into a draft and keep the evidence pack ready for review.
Use the page’s plain-language explainer and preparation steps to decide what sits in scope before you collect figures. The page does not set a formal scope rule, so you need to apply the guidance consistently and document your approach.
The page is designed for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can source, check and explain the figures. The workbook is there to help assign and track those responsibilities.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items and five assurance claims to verify, each framed around claim, risk and evidence. Use those together so you can show where each number came from and how it was checked.
The page says there are five claims to verify, each linked to a risk and evidence point. In practice, use them as a checklist to test whether the disclosure is complete, accurate and supported before it goes into a report.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is meant to help you spot issues before drafting. Use that section to check for missing datapoints, weak evidence or inconsistent treatment across the disclosure.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the datapoints, track evidence and support the step-by-step preparation process.
The Download Centre includes a printable Library Card in PDF format. It is there as a practical reference alongside the workbook, so you can keep the key preparation and assurance points to hand while drafting.
Yes, the page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table, to show how the disclosure can be presented. Treat it as a format guide only and make sure your own numbers and narrative match your actual evidence.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. Use those prompts to turn the prepared figures into a clear draft, then check it against the evidence pack and assurance claims.
