Framework Coverage

Canonical ESG maintains structural mappings across global sustainability standards and regulatory regimes.

Coverage reflects semantic and structural modelling completeness, not legal endorsement.

Coverage Principles

Coverage status reflects:

  • Full semantic alignment with CDI v1
  • Cross-framework interpretive modelling
  • Structural validation against Canonical ESG schemas

Canonical ESG does not assert regulatory compliance.
