Ottawa, ON — The Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI) announces that DGSI-TS 122, Impact statements for profit-oriented entities, has been withdrawn following a scheduled maintenance review conducted by the responsible Technical Committee, in accordance with DGSI procedures for Technical Specifications.

DGSI/TS 122 described the basis for the presentation of impact statements to ensure comparability both with an entity’s impact statements of previous periods and with the impact statements of other entities. It set out overall requirements for the presentation of impact statements, guidelines for their structure, and minimum requirements for their content.

DGSI extends its sincere thanks to all members of the expert drafting team, reviewers, stakeholders, and partners who contributed their time, expertise, and insight to the development of DGSI/TS 122. Their commitment and collaborative efforts were essential to the creation of this Technical Specification and to advancing dialogue and practice related to impact statements in profit-oriented entities.

While withdrawn, the technical specification remains available if needed. Contact us to obtain a copy.
