Does the entity have a process to monitor controversies, misconduct, penalties, incidents, accidents, or breaches against the codes of conduct/ethics?

Assessment Instructions

Intent: What is the purpose of this indicator?

This indicator assesses whether the entity has a defined process to monitor and communicate any sustainability-related controversies, misconduct, penalties, incidents, accidents, or breaches against the codes of conduct/ethics to its stakeholders. Transparent external communication is an important management control, helping stakeholders understand potential regulatory risks and liabilities.

Recurring sustainability-related misconduct, penalties, incidents, or accidents can increase the risk profile of the entity as they can translate into reputational, compliance, and financial risks.

Input: How do I complete this indicator?

Select Yes or No: If selecting 'Yes', select applicable sub-options.

Open text box: The content of this open text box is not used for scoring, but will be included in the Benchmark Report. Participants may use this open text box to provide additional detail on the process the entity follows to communicate sustainability-related misconduct to its stakeholders.

Terminology

Accident

An unplanned, undesired event that results in damage or injury.

Clients/customers

A customer is understood to include end-customers (consumer) as well as business-to-business customers.

Code of conduct/ethics

An agreement on rules of behavior for the employees of the entity.

Community/public

Persons or groups of people living and/or working in any areas that are economically, socially or environmentally impacted (positively or negatively) by the entity’s operations.

Contractors

Persons or organizations working onsite or offsite on behalf of an entity. A contractor can contract their own workers directly, or contract sub-contractors or independent contractors.

Controversy

Public allegation and/or litigation that could negatively impact the entity’s reputation.

Employee(s)

Someone who works directly for the asset and receives compensation in the form of an hourly wage or annual salary for their work. This can be both onsite or offsite (such as in an administration office). Employers typically have to pay specific benefits such as contributions to pensions or taxes for employees. Employees may be either full time or part time and may operate on a short term contract.

Sustainability fines and/or penalties

Sanctions resulting from an illegal act or non-compliant behavior, which directly harms the environment and/or stakeholders of the entity.

Incident

An unplanned, undesired event with actual or potential adverse impacts.

Investors/shareholders

The entity’s current investors and/or equity stake owners in the entity.

Misconduct

Unacceptable or improper behavior, especially by an employee or organization.

Penalty

A punishment imposed for breaking a law, rule, or contract.

Special interest groups

Organization with a shared interest or characteristic (e.g. trade unions, non- governmental organizations).

Suppliers

Organization upstream from the reporting entity (i.e., in the entity’s supply chain), which provides a product or service that is used in the development of the entity’s own products or services. Note that for the purposes of this assessment, 'suppliers' only refers to tier 1 suppliers with whom the entity has a direct commercial relationship.

Validation: What evidence is required?

No evidence required.

Other Answer

List applicable parties that would be notified of misconduct, penalties, incidents, accidents, or breaches, but that are not already listed. Ensure that the ‘Other’ answer provided is not a duplicate or subset of another option (e.g., “local residents” when “‘Community/Public” is selected). It is possible to report multiple ‘Other’ answers. If multiple ‘Other’ answers are accepted, only one will be counted towards scoring.

Validation Basics

Scoring

Scoring: How does GRESB score this indicator?

Diminishing increase in scoring: This indicator is affected by the "diminishing increase in score" approach, where the fractional score achieved for each selection decreases as the number of selections increases.

Other: The 'Other' answer is manually validated and assigned a score which is used as a multiplying factor, as per the table below:

Validation status	Score
Accepted	1/1
