Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

The study administered quantitative and qualitative techniques and collected the 310 respondents' opinions with the support of the questionnaire only after checking the reliability and validity using McDonald Omega and Bartlett's test of sphericity. The collected data was summarized, coded, and decoded using Microsoft Excel and R Language R Studio. The six selected hypotheses were tested by administering Cochran's Q test, and the qualitative data was analyzed using the concordance coefficient formula. The significant findings are that 88 percent of people and 83 percent of companies in Kazakhstan strictly follow environmental, social, and governance-related actions and activities.
