Green space created (e.g., urban greening factor; area of green space created; planted area, etc) Reports of greenspace created should include: - Proportion of plant species that are native to the ecoregion (number of specimens as a proportion of total); and - Proportion of green space created that overlaps with national or local ecosystem connectivity plans, where such plans exist, with reference to the plan adhered to.

Potential measures could include: • Green plot ratio; • Urban greening factor; • Area of green space created (m2 ); • Planted area (m2 ); • Area of tree planting (m2 ); • Number of trees planted; • Surface area of a building on which plants are planted, including vertical area (m2 ); and • Share of area above threshold for normalised difference vegetation index. Reports of greenspace created should include: • Proportion (%) of plant species that are native to the ecoregion (number of specimens as a proportion of total); and • Proportion (%) of green space created that overlaps with national or local ecosystem connectivity plans, where such plans exist, with reference to the plan adhered to.
Target example
[Company name] will increase the green space created by [target amount, absolute or percentage] in [target location(s)] by [target year] compared to a [baseline year] baseline.
