Focus dell’informativa

This disclosure requires the organization to report the percentage of significant product and service categories for which health and safety impacts are assessed for improvement.

A product or service category is a group of related products or services sharing a common, managed set of features that satisfies the needs of a selected market.

The denominator comprises all significant categories under the organization’s documented methodology. The numerator comprises those significant categories with a qualifying health and safety impact assessment that is applicable to the reporting period.

The assessment can have been completed in an earlier period if it remains current. GRI 416-1 does not require a new annual assessment or completed improvement actions.

Quality certification, regulatory compliance, customer complaints and product testing can support the evidence but do not automatically establish that a category was assessed for improvement.

The metric concerns customer health and safety impacts of products and services, not occupational health and safety of employees or contractors.

The organization can additionally describe the criteria used for the assessment and relevant life-cycle stages.

Questo materiale didattico LRA supporta la preparazione dell’informativa. Per i requisiti esatti, fai sempre riferimento alla fonte ufficiale Global Reporting Initiative.

Esempi

Esempi illustrativi

Sintetici, scritti da LRA: non provengono dal report di un’azienda né dal testo di uno standard.

Illustrative example 1

Illustrative synthetic example — Consumer goods
The organization identified ten significant product categories. Eight had current health and safety impact assessments carried out for improvement.
Percentage assessed: 8 ÷ 10 × 100 = 80.0%.
The remaining two categories remained in the denominator because their assessments were incomplete. Improvement actions were identified for five of the eight assessed categories, but this did not affect the percentage.

Synthetic LRA illustration. Replace every figure and fact with the reporting organisation's evidence.

Illustrative example 2

Illustrative synthetic example — Business services
The organization identified eight significant service categories. Five had applicable assessments for improvement.
Percentage assessed: 5 ÷ 8 × 100 = 62.5%.
Three significant categories remained unassessed and therefore remained in the denominator.

Illustrative example 3

Illustrative synthetic example — Full assessment
All 12 significant product and service categories had current health and safety impact assessments for improvement. The organization reported 100%.

Synthetic LRA illustration. Replace every figure and fact with the reporting organisation's evidence.

Illustrative example 4

Illustrative synthetic example — No significant categories
The organization determined that it had no significant product or service categories under its documented methodology. The percentage was therefore not calculable.

Report reali pubblicati
CRH plc
Construction Materials · Ireland · 2024
Apri il report →

CRH provides qualitative customer-safety information but does not report the percentage required by GRI 416-1.

Report page 58 describes:

collaboration with regulators and standard-setting bodies;

safety data sheets and product declarations;

compliance with REACH;

manufacture to national and regional technical standards;

independent certification; and

ISO 9001 certification at 64% of European operating companies.

These disclosures provide useful product-safety and quality-management context but do not identify:

the significant product and service category denominator;

the number of categories assessed for improvement; or

the required percentage.

The GRI index on report page 104 states that no products are known to require improvements relating to health and safety impacts. This is not the same as reporting that no products exist or that no information is applicable. It reports an assessment conclusion without disclosing the assessment-coverage percentage.

The card should:

replace there are no products to report with the report’s actual statement;

remove any implication that ISO 9001 coverage is the GRI 416-1 percentage;

remove contractor induction and workplace safety data;

identify the missing percentage as the principal gap; and

classify the disclosure as partial or insufficient.

CRH’s substantive page discusses customer safety and quality controls, while its GRI index provides a no-improvement-known conclusion but no category percentage.

Samsung Biologics Co.,Ltd.
Pharmaceuticals / Biotech / Life Sciences · South Korea · 2025
Apri il report →

Samsung Biologics’ current card combines information relevant to GRI 416-1 and GRI 416-2.

The number of regulatory violations resulting in warnings on page 195 concerns incidents of non-compliance and therefore belongs to GRI 416-2. It does not answer the GRI 416-1 assessment percentage.

The reference on page 205 should be checked to determine whether it is:

a substantive quantitative disclosure;

a GRI content-index reference; or

a qualitative management statement.

The card should:

remove page 195 as primary evidence for GRI 416-1;

identify whether page 205 reports an actual percentage;

verify the significant-category denominator and assessed-category numerator;

avoid requiring detailed assessment outcomes, because outcomes are not a separate GRI 416-1 element; and

classify the report as requires substantive reassessment unless the percentage is located.

A statement that products or services are assessed, without a percentage of significant categories, is not a complete GRI 416-1 response.

The current card itself identifies the page 195 information as regulatory-warning data, while the official standard treats such warnings under Disclosure 416-2, not 416-1.

Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd.
Home Building · Japan · 2025
Apri il report →

Sumitomo Forestry’s GRI Content Index maps GRI 416-1 to:

Product and Service Safety as well as the Quality Management; and

Product Safety and Quality Management in the Housing Business.

The mapping appears on report page 536, not page 537.

The content-index entry demonstrates where the company directs readers for product-safety and quality-management information, but it does not itself provide:

the significant product and service category denominator;

the number of categories assessed for improvement; or

the required percentage.

The card should:

correct the page reference;

distinguish the content-index page from the substantive linked disclosures;

open and review both linked pages;

assess whether either page provides the required percentage;

remove detailed findings on health and safety performance outcomes as a mandatory gap; and

classify the disclosure as content-index mapping requiring substantive reassessment unless a percentage is found.

Sumitomo Forestry’s official index maps 416-1 to two qualitative product-safety and quality pages, and the mapping is shown on report page 536.
