Additional Metric Notes
Rationale
- This metric can be used to indicate changes resulting from the implementation of sustainable management techniques. It may be disaggregated by ecosystem type (e.g., forest, wetland, grassland, savannah) or business activity.
- Per TNFD sector guidance, organizations should describe and disclose the definition of regenerative or sustainable agriculture used for reporting purposes: “Practices may be considered to have started when a baseline has been undertaken for the corporation to track regeneration of environmental assets.”
Additional/complementary metrics
- Disaggregation by ecosystem type
- Legally required vs voluntary (where jusridictional requirements exist)
- Financial investment in activity
