Claims for reporting
Claims for reporting are narrative statements or data points that organizations wish to document and track for potential future use in disclosures.
Using claims
Claims for reporting allows organizations to create, manage, and track narrative statements (claims) used in Operational Sustainability Management reporting and disclosures. A claim could be any assertion a company makes about its achievements, commitments, events, or activities. For example, a statement like “25 employees from ACME Inc. attended the UN conference on sustainability in New York on January 21, 2026” would constitute a claim. These claims can be used across multiple reports and help provide credibility and specificity to disclosures by clearly detailing actions or accomplishments. It serves as a centralized repository for narratives that can be reused in annual reports or sustainability disclosures.
