Additional Metric Notes

Rationale: Total area may be disaggregated by relevant designations, such as High Carbon Stock (HCS) forests or areas with High Conservation Values (HCVs). It may also be split by ecosystem type (e.g., forest, wetland, grassland, savannah) or business activity. This metric should be measured on an annual or biannual basis. The scope should include both direct operations and the supply chain, in accordance with the specific regulations or frameworks being followed.
