Metric Contribution to Action This metric identifies the scope of ecosystem use under organizational control (e.g. owned, managed, production manuafacturing, owned holdings etc…), facilitating measures to reduce overexploitation and ecosystem damage.
Observations, Successes and Challenges
The metric focuses on area control but doesn’t specify the quality or sustainability of the management practices being employed.
Difficult to assess impact
Companies might report on land they control without disclosing how that land is used or whether it adheres to sustainability standards.
