At Sustainability Global–Verein für Globale Nachhaltigkeit, accuracy and trust are foundational to our mission of advancing sustainability through knowledge and action. Guided by our 7 Pillars of Sustainability Global—particularly Transparency and Governance—our Corrections Policy outlines how we maintain the integrity of our content and respond to errors with accountability and openness.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to produce content that is factual, evidence-based, and aligned with the highest editorial standards. Our team draws from reputable sources and expert insights to create articles, guides, and resources that reflect the principles of our 7 Pillars, including Education and Innovation. However, we recognize that errors can occur. Whether it’s a factual inaccuracy, a typographical mistake, or a misinterpretation, we are committed to addressing issues promptly to maintain trust with our global community.
How We Handle Corrections
Our corrections process is transparent and user-focused, ensuring accountability as outlined in our Sustainability Global Community Guidelines:
- Identifying Errors: Errors may be flagged by our editorial team during routine reviews or reported by our community via our Contact Us page. We encourage feedback on inaccuracies, omissions, or unclear content.
- Review Process: Upon receiving a report, our editorial team verifies the error against reliable sources. We aim to complete this review within 72 hours, depending on the complexity of the issue.
- Implementing Corrections: If an error is confirmed, we update the content immediately. Corrections are clearly marked with a note at the article’s end, stating the date and nature of the change (e.g., “Correction: On [date], we updated [specific detail] for accuracy”). For significant errors, we may notify our audience via newsletters or social media.
- Preventing Recurrence: We analyze errors to improve our editorial processes, ensuring continuous learning in line with the Education pillar.
Community Involvement
We value our community’s role in upholding accuracy. By fostering open dialogue, as emphasized in our Community pillar, we invite readers to report errors or suggest improvements through accessible channels, including email and web forms. Our commitment to Equity ensures that all feedback is considered respectfully, regardless of the source.
Transparency in Action
Transparency is at the heart of our corrections process. We disclose our editorial standards and data practices in our Privacy Policy and Imprint, ensuring users understand how we operate. If an error stems from data misuse, our Manage Your Data tools allow users to address concerns directly.
By addressing errors openly and promptly, Sustainability Global reinforces trust and credibility. We are dedicated to delivering accurate, impactful content that empowers our audience to build a sustainable future. If you spot an error, please reach out—we’re here to listen and act.
