Focus dell’informativa

Disclosure 417-3 requires the organization to report incidents of non-compliance concerning marketing communications in three categories:

regulatory incidents resulting in a fine or penalty;

regulatory incidents resulting in a warning; and

incidents involving non-compliance with voluntary codes.

Marketing communications include activities used to promote the organization, its reputation, brands, products or services. Examples include advertising, personal selling, promotion, public relations, social media and sponsorship.

If no non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes was identified, a brief statement is sufficient.

When compiling the disclosure, exclude incidents where the organization was determined not to be at fault. Where applicable, identify reported incidents connected with events in periods before the reporting period.

Complaints, allegations, campaign corrections and open investigations are not automatically reportable incidents. They must be assessed to determine whether non-compliance with a regulation or voluntary code was established.

Product and service information and labeling incidents belong under GRI 417-2. Policies, controls, corrective actions and broader topic management belong primarily under Disclosure 3-3 where marketing and labeling is a material topic.

Come prepararla

Identify complaints, regulator cases, self-regulatory findings, campaign-review issues and other candidate matters concerning marketing communications.
Apply the GRI definition of marketing communication, including advertising, personal selling, promotion, public relations, social media and sponsorship.
Separate product information and labeling matters for assessment under GRI 417-2.
Determine which candidate matters became incidents of non-compliance with a regulation or voluntary code.
Exclude cases where the organization was determined not to be at fault and retain supporting evidence.
Classify each remaining regulatory incident according to whether it resulted in a fine or penalty or in a warning.
Classify incidents involving voluntary codes separately.
Determine the reporting-period population using a documented determination, resolution and cut-off methodology.
Flag reported incidents connected with prior-period events.
Reconcile the three required category-level numbers to the case register.
If all three categories are zero, prepare a brief statement covering both regulations and voluntary codes.
Verify the disclosure against Requirements 417-3(a)–(b) and compilation requirements 2.2.1–2.2.2.

Complaints are counted without a non-compliance determination.

Report reali pubblicati
Zydus Lifesciences Limited
Pharmaceuticals / Biotech / Life Sciences · India · 2025
Apri il report →

Zydus Lifesciences Limited provides a clear zero-incidents figure for GRI 417-3.

The Ethical Marketing Performance table on page 135 reports zero incidents of non-compliance concerning marketing communications for FY 2024–25 and each of the three preceding periods.

Because GRI 417-3 permits a brief statement where no non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes has been identified, the zero figure can satisfy the disclosure if it covers both sources of non-compliance.

The current card should:

cite the marketing-communications row on page 135 rather than the separate product-information and labeling row;

remove materiality and risk-management information from page 148;

remove the suggestion that unspecified narrative elements are missing;

verify whether the zero figure covers regulations and voluntary codes; and

classify the disclosure as substantially aligned with the zero-incidents route.

The current card cites the wrong row, although the same report separately provides a zero figure specifically for marketing communications.

Firstsource Solutions Limited
Professional Services · India · 2025
Apri il report →

Firstsource Solutions Limited’s GRI Content Index provides a zero-incidents statement for GRI 417-3.

The index states that no incidents of non-compliance with marketing-communication regulations or voluntary codes were reported during the reporting period.

It also describes the disclosure as “not applicable” because Firstsource operates business-to-business and follows ethical communication guidelines. That rationale should be treated cautiously: a business-to-business model does not by itself make marketing communications or GRI 417-3 inapplicable.

The current card should:

remove all references to forced or compulsory labor and GRI 409-1;

remove occupational health and safety data;

cite the GRI Content Index location containing the zero statement;

recognise that the statement expressly covers regulations and voluntary codes;

note that “not applicable” is not supported solely by the business-to-business nature of the company; and

classify the zero statement as relevant GRI 417-3 evidence.

Firstsource’s report expressly maps GRI 417-3 and states that no non-compliance with marketing-communication regulations or voluntary codes was reported.

Owens Corning
Building Products · United States · 2024
Apri il report →

Owens Corning’s 2024 Sustainability Report provides a relevant but qualified zero-incidents statement on page 184.

The Product Transparency section states that the company had no material incidents of non-compliance with regulations or voluntary codes concerning labeling, marketing or advertising of its products and material services.

The statement has two limitations for GRI 417-3:

it combines labeling with marketing and advertising, spanning both GRI 417-2 and GRI 417-3; and

it is restricted to “material” incidents, while GRI 417-3 does not prescribe a materiality threshold.

The current card should:

remove parental-leave data;

remove employee health-screening information;

remove assurance-provider independence information;

use page 184 as the principal evidence;

identify the combined labeling/marketing scope;

identify the unsupported materiality qualifier; and

classify the disclosure as partial rather than complete.

Owens Corning’s actual relevant disclosure appears on page 184 and combines labeling, marketing and advertising under a “no material incidents” statement.
