| The Capitals | The report focuses only on financial capital, with no reference to other capitals (e.g. human, intellectual, social, natural, or manufactured capital) | The report acknowledges the existence of multiple capitals but the presentation is mostly descriptive, without clearly explaining how the capitals are used as inputs to the business model or how they generate value over time | The report provides a structured discussion on the relevant capitals as inputs to the business model and explains how they contribute to value creation. KPIs for capitals are included, but they may not be benchmarked against industry standards or prior performance, limiting comparability | The report presents capitals as both inputs and outcomes of the business model. Quantitative and qualitative KPIs are included and the KPIs are compared against industry benchmarks or internal targets, enhancing transparency, credibility and comparability. While the KPIs for relevant capitals connect past and present performance, scant reference is provided to expect future performance. The report also explains context and drivers behind capital changes (e.g. impact of workforce restructuring on human capital) | The report provides a comprehensive, connected and forward-looking discussion of both the context and drivers of changes in the capitals. It uses SMART KPIs to track capital performance, both quantitatively and qualitatively and explicitly links capitals to strategy, resource allocation and business model outcomes. The interdependencies between capitals are explored, demonstrating how trade-offs are managed (e.g. balancing short-term financial performance with long-term environmental sustainability). Time-based connectivity is evident, with capital KPIs tracked over past, present and future periods (i.e. beyond one year). Third-party validation of capital utilization, efficiency of capital trade-offs and accuracy of sustainability-related capital disclosures (e.g. carbon accounting, human capital growth) |
| Business Model as Part of the Value Creation Process | The report does not reference the business model or the value creation process | The report provides a basic description of the business model, focusing on what the organization does rather than how it creates value. The disclosure is largely narrative based, with no visual representation of the business model and limited discussion on key inputs and outputs | The report includes an entity-level business model diagram outlining the company's key business activities. There is some discussion of key business processes and selected KPIs are used to measure business model performance. However, the explanation of inputs (capitals) and outputs (value created or consumed) remains limited | The report presents the organization's business model, as part of its value creation process. It clearly articulates how capitals are used as inputs, how they drive critical business activities and the outputs and outcomes generated. The business model disclosure is supported by a complete entity-level diagram, with highlights on critical business activities within these processes that are material to value creation | The report discusses and connects the business model as an integrated part of value creation. The entity-level business model diagram is complemented by a high-level description of key business processes, using SMART KPIs to measure inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes.

| Performance | The report focuses only on short-term financial performance, with no discussion of sustainability-related (medium and long-term financial) performance indicators | The report discusses performance across a range of indicators and is presented in a highlights summary, but the presentation is fragmented | The report presents a structured discussion of performance, covering both short-term financial and sustainability-related financial KPIs. The report provides comparisons with prior periods and discusses how past performance informs current strategic decisions. However, performance measurement lacks a fully balanced view and not all KPIs are explicitly linked to strategic targets, risks and opportunities, the capitals and key stakeholder relationships | The report covers a balanced set of KPIs across strategic objectives, capitals, stakeholder relationships, key business processes and risk management. Performance indicators are compared against targets, past results and, where relevant, industry benchmarks. The report explores the implications of performance trends, identifying key drivers and challenges. Forward-looking elements are included, such as projected performance goals or areas of improvement | The report demonstrates a clear link between strategic objectives, risks and opportunities, capitals, key stakeholder relationships and critical business activities.

External verification of key performance indicators (both financial and ESG), including trend consistency and industry benchmarking |
| Outlook | The report provides no discussion of the organization's future outlook beyond the next financial year | While certain content elements (e.g. strategy, risks, business model) reference future plans, the report only includes some future-oriented discussion and remains qualitative and vague (e.g. “We aim to enhance our product offerings over the next few years”) | The report presents a structured and informative discussion of the organization's outlook, distinguishing between short-term (<12 months) and long-term (>1 year) expectations. Some forward-looking KPIs are included with clear timeframes (e.g. “We are planning to develop two new products within 15 months”) | The report delivers an insightful, forward-looking discussion across most content elements (e.g. strategy, risks, external environment, resource allocation, business model, performance). Future expectations are clearly defined for short (<12 months), medium (3–5 years) and long-term (>5 years) horizons. The discussion includes targeted KPIs with specific timeframes (e.g. “We are planning to reengineer our product development process and develop a series of new generation products over the next 5 years and beyond, which meet customer requirement”). It also considers anticipated changes over time and the key assumptions influencing the outlook. Sensitivity analysis is introduced, offering some insight into potential future scenarios | The report integrates forward-looking information across all relevant content elements. Future projections are supported by SMART KPIs across short, medium and long-term horizons. The report incorporates sensitivity analysis and scenario planning, considering the impact of external risks, technological changes, market shifts and regulatory developments.

Advanced visual tools (e.g. scenario modelling, interactive dashboards, carbon transition pathways) enhance transparency and stakeholder engagement. Where applicable, the report aligns with frameworks such as TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) for future risk assessment. Assurance on forecasting methodologies, sensitivity analysis and forward-looking scenario modelling accuracy (e.g. climate risk assumptions, economic trend predictions) |
