Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the earnings generated by all distributors that sell the organization's products or services either to other distributors (wholesale) or to the end client (retail). Distributors do not need to exclusively sell the organization's products or services to use this metric.
Direct employees who distribute the organization's goods or services should be considered as employees and not as distributors.

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).
