In scope
- Disclosure identity, applicability, boundary, period, matters, IROs, materiality, governance, strategy, actions, metrics, targets and performance

Out of scope
- Owning Organization, Person, Legal Norm, Reporting Obligation, Metric Definition, Observation, Dataset, Financial Statement, Regulatory Filing, Assurance Engagement, Risk, Plan, Action, Incident or Records masters
- Treating impact materiality as financial materiality, estimate as observation, target as outcome, approval as assurance, publication as truth or filing as compliance
- Autonomous materiality, legal attestation, approval, assurance, filing, publication, protected-data disclosure, validation override or record destruction
Why it exists Filled
Represent a versioned organization- or reporting-group-level sustainability disclosure so agents can assemble, validate, approve, assure, publish, amend and reconcile decision-useful context without confusing impacts with financial effects, reported assertions with observations, estimates or targets, or publication with truth, assurance, compliance or regulator agreement.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Holds a reporting entity's sustainability disclosure, not the underlying measurements or the financial statements.
- Separates impact materiality from financial materiality, and estimates from measured observations.
- Targets are commitments, not outcomes; progress needs separate performance evidence.
- Assurance is a separate engagement; an approved disclosure is not an assured one.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Decide what is material.
- Present an estimate or proxy as a measured value.
- Claim progress, offsets or neutrality without evidence.
- Approve, attest, publish or file the disclosure.
- State that a disclosure is assured when no assurance engagement covers it.
Only with a human decision
- Materiality assessment and its approval.
- Approving and publishing the disclosure.
- Restating prior-period figures.
May
- Assemble metrics, targets and narrative from source datasets with their method and boundary.
- Check completeness against the applicable framework's datapoints.
- Tag the disclosure with the digital taxonomy.
- Flag estimates, proxies and boundary changes for reviewers.
Moral aspects Filled
- Greenwashing misleads investors and the public and delays real action.
- Value-chain data may cover workers and communities who cannot verify what is said about them.
- Disclosures shape capital flows with real environmental and social consequences.
Who is affected
- Investors and lenders
- Workers and communities in the value chain
- The environment and future generations
- Regulators
Owners Filled

- Reviewer and approver
- Review completeness, controls, materiality reasoning and authorization without claiming external assurance.
- Independent assurance practitioner
- Own engagement, criteria, scope, level, evidence, conclusion and limitations separately from management assertions.
- Legal, regulator, privacy and security authority
- Own applicability, filing, confidentiality, access, exception and regulatory profiles.
- Interoperability and records steward
- Own taxonomy mappings, conformance, projection loss, retention and disposition policy.

neighbor
- WM-ECO-033 - The unified registry supplies Regulatory Filing / Disclosure only as a provisional parent signal. WM-ECO-034 owns sustainability disclosure semantics while filing attempts and authority responses remain external.
- Organization, observation, dataset and financial statement - The disclosure binds external entity, source facts, measurements, datasets and connected financial reports without owning their identities or lifecycles.
- Impact, risk, opportunity and materiality - Impact and financial materiality use different lenses; neither is inferred solely from a risk score, topic taxonomy or stakeholder mention.
- Metric assertion, target, estimate and observation - Definitions, measured or calculated values, estimates, assumptions, scenarios, baselines, targets and progress remain separately typed and sourced.
- Assurance engagement and regulatory filing - The disclosure references assurance scope and conclusion and external filing or publication events; approval, assurance, receipt and compliance remain independent.
- Framework and digital taxonomy - ISSB, ESRS, GRI and other frameworks retain distinct users, materiality and requirements; XBRL taxonomies are release-pinned projections and interoperability is not equivalence.

Open questions
- Canonically adjudicate the WM-ECO-033 parent signal and register relations to organization, obligation, observation, dataset, statement, filing, assurance, risk, plan, action, incident and records models.
- Create independently validated ISSB, ESRS, GRI, climate, GHG inventory, nature, biodiversity, water, workforce, communities, consumers, governance and sector profiles.
- Benchmark materiality methods, stakeholder evidence, value-chain estimates, metric calculations, boundaries, targets, scenarios, assurance scopes, restatements and digital tagging.
- Validate jurisdiction, entity class, threshold, transition, exemption, assurance, filing, publication, confidentiality and retention policies.
- Pin exact external releases, licensing conditions and taxonomy entry points and obtain independent sustainability, legal, assurance, metrics, privacy, security and records review before promotion beyond reviewable-draft assurance.
- Claude and Grok each timed out on one bounded attempt; no independent external result was admitted.
- WM-ECO-033 is only a provisional parent signal and the frozen relation ledger contains no settled WM-ECO-034 edge.
- ISSB, ESRS, GRI, climate, nature, biodiversity, water, workforce, communities, consumers, governance and sector profiles need separate validation.
- Organization identity, legal applicability, raw observations, datasets, statements, filings, assurance engagements, risks, plans, actions, incidents and retention remain adopting-Dimension profiles.
- IFRS and GRI licensing and access conditions limit redistribution of normative text; this model records public metadata and links, not copied standards.
- Every IFRS, ESRS, GRI, GHG Protocol, TNFD, CDP, XBRL, RFC, PROV, DQV and ODRL mapping needs exact release pins and conformance tests.
