Objet de l’information
Disclosure 417-1 requires the organization to report whether its procedures for product and service information and labeling require five specified types of information:
sourcing of components;
content, particularly substances that might produce an environmental or social impact;
safe use;
disposal of the product and environmental or social impacts; and
other information, with an explanation.
The organization must also report the percentage of significant product or service categories that are covered by and assessed for compliance with those procedures.
The first part concerns what the procedures require. The second concerns how widely the procedures and related compliance assessments cover the organization’s significant product or service categories.
The percentage is not a compliance success rate. A category that has been assessed and found to contain a gap can still count as assessed.
Policies, actions and the broader management of marketing and labeling-related impacts are addressed through Disclosure 3-3. Incidents of non-compliance are addressed through Disclosure 417-2.

Comment le préparer
Demander les données
Request the disclosure evidence
Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.
Please provide the GRI 417-1 information for [reporting period]. Please provide: the product and service information and labeling procedures applicable during the period; confirmation of whether those procedures require information on: sourcing of components; content, particularly substances that might produce an environmental or social impact; safe use; disposal of the product and related environmental or social impacts; any other information, with an explanation; the complete list of significant product or service categories; the basis used to identify those categories as significant; for each category, whether it is covered by the applicable procedures; for each category, whether it was assessed for compliance; the numerator, denominator and calculated percentage; and any unavailable information or reasons for omission. Please distinguish categories assessed for compliance from categories found compliant.
Use the organisation's own role and document names, but preserve the defined GRI terms and the scope described above.

Préparation à l’assurance
Pour chaque affirmation, vérifiez les preuves
| Affirmation | Risque | Preuves à vérifier |
|---|---|---|
| We reported whether information on the sourcing of components is required by the applicable procedures. | The disclosure might describe sourcing information found on selected labels without answering whether it is required by the procedures. | Applicable procedure, labeling standard or approval checklist; version applicable during the reporting period; mapping to the reported Yes/No answer. |
| We reported whether content information is required, particularly for substances that might produce an environmental or social impact. | The review might be limited to restricted substances or selected products and not support the organization-level answer about the procedures. | Product-information procedure, composition requirements, restricted-substance requirements and mapping to the disclosure. |
| We reported whether safe-use information is required by the procedures. | The disclosure might rely on examples of user instructions without establishing the underlying procedural requirement. | Safety-information procedure, user-information standard, approval checklist and relevant procedure version. |
| We reported whether information on disposal of the product and related environmental or social impacts is required by the procedures. | The disclosure might report recycling instructions but omit whether the procedures address related environmental or social impacts. | Disposal, recycling, take-back or product-stewardship procedure and mapping to Requirement 417-1(a)(iv). |
| We reported whether any other information is required by the procedures and explained what that information is. | The organization might state “Other: Yes” without explaining the additional information, or treat a core information type as “Other”. | Procedure identifying the additional information and the approved explanation used in the disclosure. |
| We reported the percentage of significant product or service categories covered by and assessed for compliance with the procedures. | The denominator might exclude significant categories that were not covered or not assessed. The numerator might include categories that were covered but not assessed, or might include only categories found compliant. | Complete significant-category inventory, significance methodology, procedure-coverage matrix, assessment records, numerator, denominator, calculation and reperformance. |

Yes — repairability and battery-recycling information
The organization identified 12 significant product categories. All 12 were covered by the applicable procedures and assessed for compliance.
Percentage covered and assessed:
12 ÷ 12 × 100 = 100%.
This percentage does not state that every category was found compliant. It states that every significant category was covered and assessed.

The organization identified 10 significant product categories. Eight were covered by the applicable procedures and assessed for compliance. Two remained in the denominator but had not yet been assessed.
Percentage covered and assessed:
8 ÷ 10 × 100 = 80%.

Rapports d’entreprises
Comment les entreprises publient GRI 417-1 en pratique
Exemples de pratiques de publication complètes et partielles. Ce sont des analyses fondées sur des preuves, non des modèles à recopier.
COPEL’s Integrated Report 2024 reports on page 327 that 100% of significant product and service categories meet the organization’s labeling requirements.
Page 327 should be used as the principal evidence for the quantitative element of GRI 417-1.
The review should determine:
whether the report states whether each information type in Requirements 417-1(a)(i)–(v) is required by COPEL’s procedures;
whether the reported 100% represents categories covered by and assessed for compliance, rather than only categories found compliant;
how COPEL defines its significant product or service categories; and
whether the numerator and denominator are identifiable.
References to local-supplier spending under GRI 204-1 and general impacts under GRI 203 or GRI 413 should be removed because they do not evidence GRI 417-1.
If page 327 provides only the percentage and not the five procedure-related answers, classify the disclosure as partial.
Thai Beverage’s current card is not supported by evidence relevant to GRI 417-1.
References to the reporting period, reporting frequency, contact points, supplier environmental assessment, social data, management of material topics and anti-corruption should be removed.
The report’s GRI content index identifies GRI 417-1, but the substantive source referenced by the index must be opened and checked before the card is retained.
The revised review should determine:
whether ThaiBev reports whether each of the five information types is required by its procedures;
whether it reports the percentage of significant product or service categories covered and assessed;
whether the percentage is based on all significant categories; and
whether the cited location contains substantive information rather than only a content-index reference.
Until the substantive evidence is verified, the card should be marked as requiring re-review rather than describing unrelated disclosures as partial GRI 417-1 coverage.
ThaiBev’s indexed PDF identifies GRI 417-1, but the current card’s cited narrative is not evidence for the requirement.
Fubon Financial Holding’s GRI content index maps GRI 417-1 to section 4.2.1, “Treating Customers Fairly”, on page 65.
Page 65 should therefore be reviewed as the principal substantive location.
The revised review should determine:
whether the section identifies which of the five information types are required by Fubon’s procedures;
whether financial-product and service information falls within the GRI definition of information delivered with the product or service and describing its characteristics;
whether Fubon reports the percentage of significant product or service categories covered by and assessed for compliance with the procedures; and
whether any omission is identified transparently.
General information on shareholder rights, environmental impacts and ESG factors in investment management should not be treated as evidence for GRI 417-1.
Fubon’s own GRI index points to Treating Customers Fairly on page 65, rather than the unrelated page references currently used by the card.
