Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how it identifies, tracks and responds to human rights incidents involving its own workforce. In practice, the report should describe the types of incidents it considers, how it records them, and what it does when issues are found, including any follow-up, remediation or escalation. The emphasis is on giving a clear picture of the organisation’s approach rather than listing isolated events without context.

The practical focus is on coverage across the whole workforce and all relevant operations, not just a few well-controlled sites or headline cases. An organisation should be able to show whether its reporting and response processes apply consistently across locations, business units and worker groups, and whether there are any gaps in coverage. The aim is to help readers understand how complete and reliable the organisation’s incident reporting is in practice.

Voorbereiding

Belangrijkste voor te bereiden informatie

Voorbereidingsveld Wat vast te leggen Aanwijzing voor bewijs Eigenaar
Incident count Record the number of incidents covered by this disclosure for the reporting period, using one consistent counting basis and the same cut-off date across the source records. Incident log, case register, or incident tracker; reconcile the final count to the period-end extract used for reporting. Risk / Compliance
HR case count Capture the number of people-related incidents included in the period, keeping the definition of an HR case consistent with the source system and the reporting cut-off. HR case management system, employee relations log, or grievance/disciplinary tracker; tie the reported figure back to the period extract. Human Resources
Penalty amount Capture the total monetary penalties linked to the relevant incidents for the period, in euros, using the same scope and period as the incident count. Finance ledger, legal case file, or compliance penalty schedule; reconcile the amount to the booked or approved penalty records. Finance / Legal
Compensation amount Capture the total compensation paid or recognised for the relevant incidents in the period, in euros, using the same incident set and reporting cut-off as the other figures. Claims file, finance ledger, or settlement schedule; check the total against the compensation records used for reporting. Finance / Legal

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Set the reporting boundary first: decide which workforce-related incidents fall inside the period and organisation scope you are using for this disclosure, so the same boundary is applied to every figure you report.
Agree the counting rules before you start collecting data: define what you will treat as an incident, what you will treat as a human-rights-related incident, and how you will separate those two counts from each other.
Gather the source records that support each number: incident logs, case files, finance records, and any other internal evidence needed to back the incident totals, the human-rights incident total, and the monetary amounts.
Compile the reported outputs in the required form: provide the two incident counts and the two euro amounts for penalties and compensation, using a clear and consistent method so the figures can be traced back to the underlying records.
Explain any exclusions, restatements, or changes in method: if a case is left out, reclassified, or counted differently from a prior period, record the reason and the effect on the reported numbers.
Check the draft against the official source before sign-off: confirm that the scope, definitions, counts, and monetary figures match the underlying evidence and that nothing required by the disclosure has been missed or added.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the incident log and case outcomes

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

What human-rights-related incidents were recorded in the period, and what amounts were paid or imposed as a result?

Use your organisation’s own case, grievance, conduct, complaints, or incident terms first, then map them to the disclosure wording when you prepare the reporting pack. Keep the request in the language the owner already uses internally, and check the source material before sign-off.

Zwak verzoek

Please provide all human rights incidents and related fines and compensation for the period.

Waarom dit misgaat: It uses framework language that many teams do not use day to day, so the owner may not know which register, case type, or payment fields to pull. It also leaves out the boundary, counting approach, and source system, which makes the extract hard to verify.

Beter verzoek

Please pull the [reporting period] extract from your [case log / grievance register / conduct tracker] for the records you would normally treat as [your internal case categories]. For each record, include the case reference, dates, status, internal label, and any amounts paid or imposed, split between [your terms for sanctions] and [your terms for compensation]. Please also note the source system, the counting rule used, and any exclusions.

Subject: Request for incident and case data for [reporting period]

Dear [name/team],

Please could you provide the incident and case data for [reporting period] for the entities in [reporting boundary]. We need the records from your [system/register name] covering the cases you would normally classify as [your internal category terms].

For each record, please include the case reference, date recorded, date closed if applicable, current status, internal category, brief description, and any amounts paid or imposed, split between [your organisation’s terms for fines/sanctions] and [your organisation’s terms for compensation/settlement]. If you use a different counting approach for linked records or multiple affected people, please note that clearly.

Please also include the source system name, the person who prepared the extract, and any assumptions or exclusions.

Could you send this by [date]? Please adapt this to your organisation’s own terms and check the source material before sign-off.

Many thanks,

I have linked the incident figures to the related follow-up actions or remedies, so a reviewer can trace each case from the disclosed numbers to the response recorded elsewhere in the report.An assurer will check that the cross-reference is real, complete and points to the right follow-up information.

I have pointed readers from the incident discussion to the section on concern-raising routes, so the report shows where people could raise issues connected with those cases.An assurer will probe whether the link to the concern-raising information is accurate and whether the report actually connects the relevant incidents to the right channel information. They may also check that the route described is the one used for the disclosed cases, not a generic or outdated process.Published report cross-reference; whistleblowing/grievance or speak-up channel description; case files showing how concerns were raised; internal mapping note linking the incidents to the channel information; approval evidence for the final wording.
I have included the monetary amounts recognised in the accounts for penalties, fines and compensation tied to those incidents during the period, using the figures that were booked in the financial records.An assurer will test whether the amounts are actually recognised in the financial statements, whether they relate to the right incident set, and whether the totals are complete and correctly classified.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong ownerAsking the policy team or legal team for the figures, instead of the case-handling owner who tracks incidents in day-to-day operations, leads to incomplete or delayed data.
Framework language onlyRequesting the numbers using disclosure labels rather than the organisation’s own case, complaint, or incident terms means the right records may never be pulled together.
No clear scopeFailing to state which parts of the business, sites, or worker groups are in scope causes teams to mix in records that should have been left out.

Waar vaak een professionele afweging nodig is

Set the cut-off for counting events that span a reporting dateChoose one clear rule for whether an incident is counted when it starts, when it is confirmed, or when it is closed, then use that same timing consistently and explain it in your note.
Decide how to treat a business bought or sold during the yearState whether you include events and amounts from the acquired or disposed operation for the part of the year it was under your control, and describe any boundary change so readers can see why the year-on-year figure moved.
Handle local legal labels and internal case types with one mapping ruleIf different countries or sites use different labels for the same kind of event, map them to one internal category set, explain the mapping, and note any cases that could not be aligned cleanly.

Echte gepubliceerde rapporten
Indra Sistemas, S.A.
Software and Services · Spain · 2025
Rapport openen →
Indra Sistemas, S.A.'s Sustainability Report 2025 includes some data on incidents of corruption and bribery, noting the total number of confirmed incidents, though specific figures are not provided (p.159). The report also details accident metrics, including fatalities and accident frequency rates among its workforce over multiple years (p.125). However, there is no clear or quotable narrative evidence found in the report regarding the company’s human rights policies or due diligence strategies, despite brief mentions of rights identification and due diligence strategy for customers (p.98, p.235).
Continental AG
Tires · Germany · 2025
Rapport openen →
Continental AG's 2025 Annual Report provides data on fines, penalties, and compensation related to human rights incidents, indicating zero amounts paid and zero known incidents on page 182. The report also mentions figures related to human rights matters excluding discrimination, with values of 56 and 139, though the context is unclear (p.182). Additionally, the report states that fines, penalties, and compensation paid during the reporting year are included and related expenses as defined by ESRS are reported (p.197). However, no further narrative or detailed explanation on these disclosures is found in the report.
Prysmian S.p.A.
Electrical Equipment and Machinery · Italy · 2025
Rapport openen →
Prysmian S.p.A.'s 2025 Integrated Annual Report provides data on human rights incidents, reporting no severe cases in FY24 and detailing 104 incidents overall, with no fines, penalties, or compensation paid related to these incidents (p.202). The report partially addresses diversity, equity, inclusion, and wellbeing through a mention of the HR and Group DE&I and Wellbeing VP, but lacks headline values or comprehensive metrics in this area (p.267). There is no clear evidence on other specific human rights disclosures or detailed complaint investigations beyond internal handling, leaving some aspects of the disclosure unclear or not found in the report.

Scenario’s om door te werken

During the year, the group logged 7 incidents in its grievance and case-tracking system. After review, 3 of those were confirmed as human-rights related, and the rest were health-and-safety, conduct, or payroll matters.

VHow should the preparer separate the incident totals for the disclosure, and what should be kept distinct from the human-rights subset?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A supplier complaint led to a settlement payment of €120,000 and a regulator later imposed a €30,000 penalty. Internal records show both amounts relate to the same human-rights matter.

VShould the preparer combine the two amounts into one figure, or present them separately for the disclosure?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The legal team says one case involved a labour-rights breach, but the operations team argues it was only a contract dispute because the worker was later rehired. The incident file contains witness notes, a settlement agreement, and an internal investigation summary.

VWhat should the preparer do before deciding whether this case belongs in the human-rights count?
Modelantwoord tonen →

At year-end, the company has 5 open cases and 2 closed cases that were confirmed as human-rights related. Finance has already booked €18,000 of compensation for one closed case, while a regulator has not yet decided whether any penalty will be issued.

VWhat should the preparer include in the disclosure when some matters are still unresolved?
