Note 2 Homepage and Historic Record - "Year" clarification


For most answers, the year of the researched answer corresponds to the year a statement covers. For instance, if the statement relates to activities and actions undertaken in the period January - October 2016, on should choose 2016 as the answer's year.

 

Since Companies may report in fiscal years (FY) that include months from two different calendar years, please use the latest calendar year cited.

 

For instance, a report for FY 2016/17 should be used for adding data for the year 2017.

 

The MSA STATEMENT HOMEPAGE LINK metric year has to be different than the others since it does not relate to any specific MSA statement, it is merely checking if there is a link to a modern slavery statement on their homepage (or in a drop-down menu on the homepage).

 

For this metric, and since we can only check the homepage in the current year, you need to choose 2020 as the answer's year.

 

If you detect that you or another user made a mistake adding the year of the document you are researching, you can easily correct that!

 

To do this, first, click on the Edit icon (pen) next to the Year value (upper left side of the page). Then manually write the correct year and hit Submit.

 

It is done!

 

Here a short screen recording on how to do that: https://vimeo.com/316096075.

 

Thank you for your contribution.
