Number of recalls of the organization’s products during the last reporting period.
Organizations should footnote the details and descriptions of these recalls. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture recalls of the organization’s products. Organizations should footnote how the recalls break down into (a) voluntary and (b) mandatory categories. Mandatory recalls are those that are mandated by a regulatory body.
Organizations are also encouraged to include information on the number of products sold in each line of recalled products.
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
