Entity-specific disclosures are sustainability disclosures developed by an organisation to explain material matters that are not fully covered by general or sector standards.
Overview
What it means in practice
Entity-specific disclosures should be read as a practical reporting term, where meaning depends on the reporting framework, boundary, evidence and user need.
In practice, users should name the source, scope, boundary and evidence behind the term. That makes entity-specific disclosures useful as a reference rather than a vague label.
Why it matters
Entity-specific disclosures matters because reporting work depends on consistent language across governance, data collection, assurance and public disclosure. Without context, the same term can be understood differently by preparers, reviewers and users.
Common misconception
A common error is to treat Entity-specific disclosures as a checklist item rather than a defined part of the reporting process. The stronger approach is to state the method, owner, evidence and review status.
Review questions
What source or framework gives the term authority? What boundary or role is being described? What evidence would a reviewer need before relying on the term?
Review
Public comments appear only after editor acceptance. Draft comments stay in the review queue.
Reviewers choose the definition or an overview paragraph, leave a comment or replacement, and attach evidence or a source link.
Editors compare reviewer cards side by side. AI may help find agreement, conflicts, unsupported claims and possible source issues.
Only an editor-accepted synthesis changes the public page. Reviewer identities are shown only with consent and verification.
Submitted reviews stay private until accepted.

Review board
Comment on a specific line. Each reviewer stays separate until an editor accepts a merged draft.
Each person comments on the definition or overview in their own draft card, with role, evidence and suggested wording kept together.
AI can compare comments against the current text, flag conflicting claims, surface missing evidence and identify where reviewers agree.
An editor merges compatible suggestions into a draft change, checks sources, records disagreements and decides what can be published.
