Суть раскрытия
This disclosure asks the organisation to explain whether, and how, it carries out due diligence as part of its governance and decision-making. In practice, that means describing the main processes used to identify, assess, prevent, mitigate and track material impacts, risks and opportunities, rather than simply stating that a policy exists.
The practical focus is on the real scope and consistency of those processes across the business. Report whether due diligence applies across the whole organisation and value chain, or only to selected activities, regions or flagship sites, and explain any important gaps, exceptions or differences in coverage.

Request the due diligence controls evidence
Переведите раскрытие на язык внутреннего бизнес-вопроса, а затем адаптируйте его под терминологию вашей организации.
How do we describe the checks, controls and review steps that sit behind our due diligence process, and who owns them?
Use your organisation’s own names for the process, control owners and review forums first, then map them to the disclosure wording. Keep the request in business language rather than framework terms, and check the source material before sign-off.
Слабый запрос
Please provide the ESRS 2:GOV-4 due diligence statement and all related controls, validation, risk and estimation controls.
Почему он не работает: This uses framework language that many teams do not use day to day, and it does not tell the owner what practical evidence to return. It also bundles several ideas together without asking for the underlying records, owners, dates or source systems.
Более удачный запрос
Please share the evidence that shows how your team checks, reviews and signs off the information used in [process name] for [period]. Use your normal team terms, and include the control owner, source system or record set, latest version/date, and any logs, approvals or review notes.

Примечание о методике
Explain how the control framework is defined, what counts as a validation check, how risk controls are identified, and how estimation controls are applied in practice.
Примечание о контексте
Set out what the control information shows about how the reporting process is governed, checked, and managed, and why those controls matter for the reliability of the reported data.
Заявление о колебаниях
If the control picture has changed, point to updates in the framework, stronger or weaker validation, revised risk handling, or changes in how estimates are reviewed and supported.

| We limited the figure to the parts of the business and reporting process we had actually defined for this report, and we documented where the boundary starts and ends. | The assurer will test whether the boundary was set consistently, whether any material parts were left out without reason, and whether the stated scope matches the underlying reporting process. | Reporting boundary memo; process maps showing included entities, sites, functions and data owners; scope approval notes; reconciliation between the reported boundary and the source population. |
| We checked that the underlying data set was complete and that the records had not been altered or lost between source systems and the final disclosure. | The assurer will probe for missing records, duplicate entries, manual overrides, weak transfer controls, and whether the final figure can be traced back to source data without unexplained gaps. | Data lineage and transfer logs; completeness checks; exception reports; access and change logs; reconciliation between source extracts, working papers and the published number. |
| We built the disclosure from a defined control set, including ownership, review steps, sign-off points and escalation routes before publication. | The assurer will assess whether the control design is adequate, whether responsibilities were clear, whether reviews happened as described, and whether issues were escalated and resolved in time. | Control framework documentation; RACI or role assignments; review and approval workflow records; issue logs; evidence of escalation and closure; publication sign-off pack. |
| Where the figure relied on estimates, we tested the assumptions, checked the calculation method and compared the result with available supporting evidence before we released it. | The assurer will look for weak assumptions, unsupported inputs, calculation errors, bias in the estimate, and whether sensitivity or reasonableness checks were performed and documented. | Estimation methodology; assumption papers; calculation sheets or model outputs; source evidence supporting inputs; sensitivity or reasonableness checks; reviewer comments and approval records. |

Иллюстративные примеры
Синтетические, написаны LRA — это не выдержки из отчёта компании и не текст какого-либо стандарта.
We keep our oversight model simple: the board sets the tone, the audit and risk committees review key controls, and management owns day-to-day checks across reporting, operations, and compliance.
- Before figures are reported, our finance team runs a documented review of source data, reconciles key balances to the ledger, and logs any corrections; in the latest cycle, 18 of 18 material data sets were checked, and 3 required adjustment before sign-off.
- We use a risk register and control testing plan to track the main threats to delivery and reporting quality; 12 of 12 priority risks had named owners, and 10 had active mitigation actions in place at period end.
- Where we rely on estimates, we apply approved assumptions, compare them with prior outcomes, and challenge unusual movements; 7 of 7 significant estimates were reviewed by a second person, and 5 were also tested against external benchmarks.
This example shows a plain-language description of how oversight is organised, how reported data is checked, how key risks are managed, and how estimates are reviewed and challenged.
Our group uses a three-line approach: operational teams prepare the information, specialist functions test it, and the board and its committees receive escalation on matters that could affect reporting or delivery.
- We validate data through automated checks, manual review of exceptions, and reconciliation to underlying records; in the period, 24 of 24 critical data feeds were tested, 4 exceptions were found, and all 4 were cleared before publication.
- For major business and reporting risks, we maintain a control map, assign owners, and monitor whether actions are completed on time; 9 of 9 top risks were assigned, and 8 had controls operating as intended at the reporting date.
- For estimates, we document the basis used, compare assumptions with recent actual results, and require independent review for higher-judgement items; 6 of 6 material estimates were reviewed, and 2 were updated after challenge from the review team.
This example illustrates a different sector’s way of describing governance, data checking, risk management, and controls over judgement-based estimates.

FAQ
Вопросы, на которые отвечает эта страница
Start with the four datapoints listed on the page: control framework overview, data checking process, risk control measures, and estimation control methods. The page also gives a step-by-step preparation flow, so use that to organise the work before you draft.
Use it as a working checklist to move from scoping and data collection into drafting and review. The page is designed to help you turn the disclosure into a practical workflow rather than a theory note.
The page is set up for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can explain the controls and evidence behind the disclosure. Use the page’s datapoints and evidence pack to assign clear responsibility for each part.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items for assurance readiness, plus four assurance claims to verify using claim, risk and evidence. Use those materials together so the draft is supported by traceable documentation rather than just narrative.
The page says there are four assurance claims to verify, each framed around claim, risk and evidence. Use that structure to test whether the disclosure is backed by the right controls, checks and supporting documents before review.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so use that section as a pre-submission check. It is there to help you spot missing control detail, weak evidence or unclear methodology before the draft goes out.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the datapoints, evidence and assurance checks into a working draft.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is a practical companion for keeping the disclosure requirements, preparation steps and evidence needs in one place while you work.
Yes, but only as an illustrative guide. The page says the examples are synthetic, so they are there to show how a disclosure might look, including the quantitative table, not to replace your own company data.
The draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line. Use those prompts to convert your prepared controls and evidence into a readable draft that is easier to review and assure.
