Marketing-related incidents of non-compliance resulting in a fine, GRI 417-3 (formerly G4-PR7)
This metric is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standard Guidelines.
GRI 417 addresses the topic of product and service information and labeling and marketing communications. This includes customer access to accurate and adequate information on the positive and negative economic, environmental, and social impacts of the products and services they consume – both from a product and service labeling and a marketing communications perspective.
Fair and responsible marketing communications, as well as access to information about the composition of products, and their proper use and disposal, can help customers to make informed choices.
The disclosures in this Standard can provide information about an organization’s impacts related to product and service labeling and marketing communications, and how it manages these impacts.
In 2018, the GRI G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines were superseded by the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI standards). For this metric, the code G4-PR7 is used in company reporting prior to 2018, and the new GRI 417-3 code used in reporting from 2018 onwards. The methodology for the former G4 standard for this metric can be found here.
For this metric question you are being asked to identify the number of incidents of non-compliance with regulations concerning marketing communications resulting in a fine or penalty for a specific year. Start by searching publicly available documents like Annual and CSR reports.
