Target example
i
An example target and the target source are presented to illustrate how a target could be set for this metric. Learn more on the Methodology page.
[Company name] will implement biodiversity offsetting to achieve net positive impact by [target year] compared to the [baseline year] baseline.
Target source: WBCSD target template
Additional target notes
Offsetting will be applied solely to cover the residual biodiversity impact gap that remains after the company has exhausted all higher-priority measures in the mitigation hierarchy. Preferably, offsetting should be prioritised in the same region, where impact occurred.

i
Each metric applies to one sector.
Forest
Value chain stage
i
