Суть раскрытия
Disclosure 2-2 requires an organisation to list all entities included in its sustainability reporting. Sites and business units can support data collection, but they do not replace the entity list required by 2-2-a.
If the organisation has audited consolidated financial statements or financial information filed on public record, it must specify any differences between the entities included in that financial reporting and those included in sustainability reporting. Specifying the differences is required; explaining why the lists differ is useful additional LRA guidance.
If the organisation consists of multiple entities, it must explain how the information is consolidated: whether adjustments are made for minority interests, how mergers, acquisitions and disposals of entities or parts of entities are taken into account, and whether and how the approach differs across the disclosures in GRI 2 and across material topics. In the GRI guidance, a minority interest means an ownership interest in an entity that is not controlled by its parent entity.
Important GRI guidance: use the same group of entities as in financial reporting where possible. If the lists are identical, a concise statement and reference to the published list can be sufficient; list any additional sustainability-only entities separately. These entities form the basis for the disclosures in GRI 2 and for determining material topics, while impacts connected with additional entities in business relationships still need to be considered when determining material topics.
Reasons for omission are not permitted for Disclosure 2-2. Confidentiality, unavailable information or another reason for omission cannot be used to leave out a required entity or consolidation explanation when reporting in accordance with the GRI Standards.

Как это подготовить
Запросить данные
Request the group entity scope and consolidation notes
Переведите раскрытие на язык внутреннего бизнес-вопроса, а затем адаптируйте его под терминологию вашей организации.
Which entities are included in sustainability reporting, how does that list compare with the applicable financial reporting entity list, and how is the information consolidated?
Use your organisation’s own perimeter, consolidation and entity-list terms first, then map them to the sustainability report wording. If your team talks about the group structure, reporting perimeter, legal entities, or consolidation pack, use those terms in the request and in the response.
Слабый запрос
Please provide the entities included in sustainability reporting and explain the consolidation approach.
Почему он не работает: This uses framework-style language only and does not tell the owner what practical records to pull. It is too vague on the source list, the comparison point, the period, and the change events that affect the answer.
Более удачный запрос
Please send the complete sustainability reporting entity list for [period], the matching list from the audited consolidated financial statements or financial information filed on public record, and a reconciliation showing every difference. Also provide the consolidation approach for minority interests, mergers, acquisitions and disposals, and any differences across GRI 2 disclosures or material topics.

Отраслевые примеры
Manufacturing
Контекст. A multi-site group with several operating subsidiaries and one recently acquired plant.
Адаптированный запрос. Please share the complete sustainability reporting entity list for [period], the entity list in the audited consolidated financial statements or financial information filed on public record, their reconciliation, and the treatment of the acquisition, disposal and minority interests.
Пример ответа. Attached are the two entity lists and reconciliation for [period]. The sustainability list includes 14 entities; the audited consolidated financial statements include those 14 plus one dormant holding company. The disclosure specifies this difference. The acquired entity is included from completion and the disposed entity until disposal. No adjustment for minority interests is made in the sustainability consolidation approach.
Retail
Контекст. A retailer with a parent company, trading subsidiaries, and a small joint venture.
Адаптированный запрос. Please provide the complete sustainability reporting entity list for [period], the entity list in the applicable public financial information, and a reconciliation identifying the joint venture and every other difference. Also explain the treatment of minority interests and disposals.
Пример ответа. The sustainability report lists the parent and nine subsidiaries. The publicly filed financial information also includes one joint venture; the reconciliation specifies that difference. The consolidation approach does not adjust sustainability information for minority interests and includes disposed entities until the disposal date.

Примечание о методике
Explain which entities are included in the sustainability reporting boundary, how that boundary was built from the group structure, and whether the same approach was used for all disclosures and material topics.
Примечание о контексте
Clarify what the reported figures represent by linking them to the entities covered, noting any differences from the financial reporting population and any adjustments needed to combine data across the group.
Заявление о колебаниях
Explain how the consolidation approach takes account of mergers, acquisitions and disposals. If these changes result in restatements of previously reported information, also apply Disclosure 2-4 and explain the reason for and effect of the restatement.

Для каждого утверждения проверьте доказательства
| Утверждение | Риски | Доказательства для проверки |
|---|---|---|
| The sustainability reporting entity list reconciles to the underlying legal entity records. | An entity is missing, duplicated or named inconsistently, or a site or business unit is substituted for a legal entity. | Entity register reconciled to the sustainability reporting entity list |
| The comparison with financial reporting uses the applicable published entity list. | The comparison uses management accounts or another document that is not an audited consolidated financial statement or financial information filed on public record. | Reconciliation workbook and the applicable audited consolidated financial statements or publicly filed financial information |
| The consolidation approach addresses minority interests, mergers, acquisitions and disposals. | Ownership adjustments or structural changes are reflected in the data but not explained in the disclosure. | Consolidation methodology, ownership schedule and records of mergers, acquisitions and disposals |
| All entities included in the organisation’s sustainability reporting are listed completely and accurately. | An entity is omitted because it is considered small, confidential or below an internal threshold, even though reasons for omission are not permitted. | Approved entity register, reconciliation workbook and documented review record |

Иллюстративные примеры
Синтетические, написаны LRA — это не выдержки из отчёта компании и не текст какого-либо стандарта.
Northbridge Consumer Group includes six entities in sustainability reporting: the parent, three wholly owned operating subsidiaries, one joint venture and one dormant holding entity. Its audited consolidated financial statements also include six entities. The two lists differ in two respects: the joint venture is included only in sustainability reporting, while a special-purpose financing entity is included only in financial reporting.
• For economic data affected by intra-group transactions, Northbridge combines the controlled entities line by line and eliminates relevant intra-group balances and transactions. For emissions, water, waste, workforce and health and safety data, it applies the aggregation rule stated with each metric rather than treating accounting consolidation as a universal ESG method.
• The consolidation note states whether and how figures are adjusted for minority interests.
• Mergers, acquisitions and disposals are reflected from the date control begins or ends.
• The approach is consistent across GRI 2 disclosures. Differences for individual material topics are identified with the relevant topic methodology.
Illustrative only: the two entity lists each contain six entities and the two differences are stated separately. The example also distinguishes financial eliminations from metric-specific ESG aggregation.
Meridian Infrastructure Group lists eight entities included in sustainability reporting: the parent, four operating subsidiaries, two project companies and one service entity. Its audited consolidated financial statements include seven of these entities; the report identifies the additional sustainability-only project company and explains the difference as useful context.
• Meridian explains whether and how its consolidation approach adjusts information for minority interests.
• Acquired entities are included from the date control begins and disposed entities until the date control ends.
• One approach is used across the disclosures in GRI 2. Where a material-topic assessment also considers impacts connected with contractors or other entities in business relationships, those entities are identified as part of the business relationship and are not presented as entities listed under 2-2-a.
Illustrative only: distinguishes entities included under 2-2-a from additional entities in business relationships whose impacts are considered when determining material topics.

Сценарии для разбора
A group has a parent company, two wholly owned subsidiaries, and one joint venture that is not fully controlled. The finance team’s year-end pack includes all four entities, but the sustainability team has only drafted content for the parent and the two subsidiaries.
A group bought a business in October and sold another in March. The sustainability data team has used the full-year figures from the acquired business but has left out the sold business entirely because it was not owned at year end.
A group has a 70% owned operating company and a 30% owned associate. The sustainability team has included 100% of the operating company’s emissions and 30% of the associate’s, but no one has written down whether the minority share was adjusted in the process.
A group reports on climate, workforce, and community topics. For climate, it uses one consolidation method across all entities; for workforce data, it uses a different method because one acquired business has incomplete legacy records; and for community spend, it uses a third approach for a joint operation.

FAQ
Вопросы, на которые отвечает эта страница
Prepare five things: the complete sustainability reporting entity list; any differences from the entities in audited consolidated financial statements or financial information filed on public record; the treatment of minority interests; the treatment of mergers, acquisitions and disposals; and any differences in the consolidation approach across GRI 2 disclosures and material topics.
Use it as a working sequence to move from scoping and ownership through to evidence and draft output. The page is designed to help you prepare the disclosure, not just describe it.
List every entity included in the organisation’s sustainability reporting. Sites, stores and business units can be supporting collection units but do not replace the required entity list. Reasons for omission are not permitted for GRI 2-2.
Where 2-2-b applies, compare the sustainability reporting entity list specifically with the entities in audited consolidated financial statements or financial information filed on public record, and specify every difference. Explaining why the lists differ is useful additional context but is not a separate requirement.
The page lists minority interest treatment as a datapoint to prepare, so you should document how minority interests are handled in the disclosure and keep that treatment consistent in your working papers. The page does not define the treatment for you.
Explain how the consolidation approach takes account of mergers, acquisitions and disposals of entities or parts of entities. If a structural change leads to restatement of previously reported information, also apply GRI 2-4 and explain the reason for and effect of the restatement.
The page is set up for practitioners to assign ownership as part of preparation, so the practical approach is to name the data owner, the drafter, and the reviewer early. The page does not prescribe a specific role structure.
Keep the legal entity register, applicable published financial entity list, reconciliation, consolidation methodology, ownership schedule, records of mergers/acquisitions/disposals, mapping of consolidation differences and documented review and approval.
The page says there are four assurance claims to verify, each with a claim, risk and evidence prompt. Use those prompts to check that the disclosure is supported before it goes to review.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is worth checking your draft against that list before sign-off. In practice, use it as a final quality-control step to catch missing scope notes, weak methodology or incomplete evidence.
The examples are synthetic and show how a completed narrative disclosure might be structured. Use them as a drafting reference only; replace every entity, difference and consolidation method with verified information from your own records.
