If metrics include upstream and/or downstream value chain data estimated using indirect sources (e.g., sector averages or proxies), identify the metrics, describe the preparation basis, accuracy level, and any planned improvements.
CSRD
Metrics Including Value Chain Data (Estimated via Indirect Sources):
List the specific metrics that incorporate estimated value chain data from indirect sources (e.g., Scope 3 emissions, supplier sustainability performance).
Basis for Preparation:
Explain how these metrics are estimated—mention data sources (e.g., industry benchmarks, supplier surveys, lifecycle assessments), methodologies, and any assumptions used.
Accuracy Level:
Assess the reliability of these estimates—are they based on primary data, sector averages, or extrapolations? Indicate any known uncertainties or limitations.
Planned Accuracy Improvements:
Outline specific actions to enhance data quality (e.g., increasing supplier data collection, integrating direct measurement tools, using third-party verification). Provide a timeline if possible.

BP-2 - Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
- Has the company deviated from the standard medium- or long-term time horizons defined by ESRS 1? If so, specify your definitions and the reasons for applying them.
- Identify any disclosed quantitative metrics or monetary amounts subject to high measurement uncertainty, specifying the sources of uncertainty and the assumptions, approximations, or judgments applied.
- If disclosing forward-looking information, indicate whether it is considered uncertain.
- If sustainability information preparation or presentation has changed from previous reporting periods, explain the changes, their reasons, disclose revised comparative figures (if possible), and indicate differences from prior figures.
- If material prior period errors are identified, disclose the nature of the error, corrections made (if practicable), or explain why correction is not possible.
- If the sustainability statement includes information from other legislation or reporting standards beyond ESRS, disclose this and specify any partial application with precise references.
- If incorporating information by reference, provide a list of the ESRS disclosure requirements or specific datapoints referenced.
