Additional Metric Notes
ACT-D stage: Transform Maturity stage: Leading Metric Contribution to Action: Monitoring sustainably managed ecosystems helps ensure long-term ecological health and supports responsible resource stewardship. Observations/Successes/Challenges: > "Sustainably managed" is often loosely defined and varies across industries. Without clear specification, the metric risks becoming meaningless. > Different industries have different definitions and thresholds for sustainability, making cross-sector comparison difficult. > Requires monitoring across ecosystems, industries, and geographies, which may not be feasible for all companies.
