Focus dell’informativa
Disclosure 417-2 requires the organization to report incidents of non-compliance concerning product and service information and labeling in three categories:
regulatory non-compliance resulting in a fine or penalty;
regulatory non-compliance resulting in a warning; and
non-compliance with voluntary codes.
If the organization has identified no non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes, a brief statement of that fact is sufficient.
When compiling the disclosure, exclude incidents where the organization was determined not to be at fault. Where applicable, identify reported incidents that relate to events in periods before the reporting period.
Complaints, allegations, open investigations, internal deviations and labeling corrections are not automatically reportable incidents. They must be assessed to determine whether they constitute non-compliance with a regulation or voluntary code.
Incidents concerning advertising, promotion or sponsorship belong under GRI 417-3 rather than GRI 417-2.

Nota di contesto
Keep mandatory GRI Requirements, GRI recommendations and additional LRA preparation controls clearly distinguished. Apply a GRI 1 reason for omission where required information cannot be reported.

Preparazione all’assurance
Per ogni affermazione, verifica le evidenze
| Affermazione | Rischio | Evidenze da verificare |
|---|---|---|
| We reported the number of regulatory incidents concerning product and service information and labeling that resulted in a fine or penalty. | Regulatory penalties might be omitted, combined with warnings or mixed with health and safety or marketing-communications incidents. | Final regulator decisions, penalty notices, legal register, incident files and reconciliation to the published figure. |
| We reported the number of regulatory incidents concerning product and service information and labeling that resulted in a warning. | Formal warnings might be omitted because they did not result in a monetary fine. | Regulatory warning notices, inspection outcomes, legal register and category reconciliation. |
| We reported the number of incidents involving non-compliance with voluntary codes concerning product and service information and labeling. | Voluntary-code incidents might be omitted or mixed with internal procedural deviations that are not code violations. | Applicable code, final finding, industry-body or internal determination and incident classification. |
| We excluded only incidents in which the organization was determined not to be at fault. | Open, inconclusive or inconvenient cases might be removed without a documented not-at-fault determination. | Investigation conclusions, regulator decisions, legal assessments and exclusion log. |
| We identified reported incidents relating to events in periods before the reporting period. | The reporting-period count might be correct, but prior-period event information required by the compilation requirements could be omitted. | Event dates, resolution dates, case chronology and prior-period flag. |
| Where all three categories were zero, our statement that no non-compliance was identified covered both regulations and voluntary codes. | The statement might be based only on regulator records and omit voluntary-code findings. | Complete source-register reconciliation, confirmations from responsible owners and final sign-off. |

Report aziendali
Come le aziende rendicontano GRI 417-2 nella pratica
Esempi di prassi di rendicontazione completa e parziale. Sono analisi basate sulle evidenze, non modelli da copiare.
Zydus Lifesciences Limited provides a sufficient zero-incidents statement for GRI 417-2.
The report states that no non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes concerning product and service information and labeling was identified in FY 2024–25. It also presents a zero value for the disclosure in its Ethical Marketing Performance table.
Because Disclosure 417-2(b) permits a brief statement where no non-compliance has been identified, the report does not need additional incident narratives or category-level counts when the result is zero.
The current card should:
use the zero statement and the table as the principal evidence;
remove materiality and risk-management information from page 148;
remove the suggestion that unspecified “other aspects” are missing;
note that the same sentence also addresses marketing communications, but the GRI 417-2 element is still identifiable; and
classify the disclosure as substantially aligned with the zero-incidents reporting route.
Zydus’s report expressly states that there were no incidents concerning product and service information and labeling during FY 2024–25.
Owens Corning’s 2024 Sustainability Report should be assessed using the Product Transparency section on page 184 and the GRI content index.
The report states that Owens Corning had no material incidents of non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes concerning labeling, marketing or advertising.
This statement has two limitations for GRI 417-2:
it combines labeling with marketing and advertising, which spans both GRI 417-2 and GRI 417-3; and
it is restricted to “material” incidents, while GRI 417-2 requires incidents of non-compliance without a materiality threshold.
The current card should:
remove parental-leave, insider-trading, occupational-disease and governance references;
use page 184 and the GRI index as the only relevant evidence;
note that the GRI index maps the zero-incidents route to page 184;
classify the disclosure as partial because of the “material” qualifier and the combined labeling/marketing scope; and
avoid claiming compliance based on unrelated general legal-compliance disclosures.
The report’s actual wording is a combined statement about labeling, marketing or advertising and is qualified by “material incidents”.
Thai Beverage’s current card does not provide evidence relevant to GRI 417-2.
The report’s GRI content index maps GRI 417-2 to page 92. However, that location discusses consumer health, nutrition and product development and does not provide the three incident-category counts or a clear zero statement concerning product and service information and labeling.
The report separately states that there were zero incidents concerning product health and safety. That information relates to GRI 416-2 and must not be treated as GRI 417-2 evidence.
The current card should:
remove child labor, forced labor and occupational health and safety information;
remove the product health and safety zero figure as evidence for GRI 417-2;
identify the mismatch between the GRI index and the cited substantive page;
search for another substantive disclosure location; and
mark the example as requiring re-review or remove it until valid evidence is found.
ThaiBev’s index identifies GRI 417-2 and points to page 92, but the current card cites unrelated labor and health-and-safety content.
