Disclosure of contextual information necessary to understand the data (non-employees)

Updated over 5 months ago

ESRS Standard

55 The information referred to in paragraph 53 shall include the following:

  • (c) Where applicable, background information necessary to understand the data (e.g., significant fluctuation in the number of Non-employees of the entity working at the entity during the reporting period and between the current and previous reporting periods).


Worth knowing

Information on when the number of Non-employees was recorded:

  • At the end of the reporting period → Fluctuations are not taken into account.

  • As an average for the reporting period → Fluctuations are taken into account.

Contextual information can indicate whether fluctuations were taken into account and what impacts they had on the average number of non-employees in the reporting period. The company can also explain the reasons for these changes, such as seasonal fluctuations or the completion of a project. If fluctuations are reported, the underlying criteria are also explained. In addition, the company states how the number of non-employees has developed in the current or previous reporting period.
