Framework alignment notes
i
The details of a metric’s alignment to each framework, including where the same or similar metric can be found within the listed framework.
ESRS E4-5 35 For own operations: whether or not it has sites located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas and whether activities related to these sites negatively affect these areas by leading to the deterioration of natural habitats and the habitats of species and to the disturbance of the species for which a protected area has been designated
GBF Target 1
GRI 101-5-b
For sites with most significant impacts on biodiversity: report whether it is in or near ecologically sensitive area, the distance to these areas, and whether these are areas of biodiversity importance; areas of high ecosystem integrity; areas of rapid decline in ecosystem integrity; areas of high physical water risk; areas important for the delivery of ecosystem service benefits to IP, LC and other stakeholders.
TNFD recommended disclosure 'D' under main topic 'Strategy': Disclose the locations of assets and/or activities in the organisation’s direct operations and, where possible, upstream and downstream value chain(s) that meet the criteria for priority locations (material locations, sensitive locations with interface with nature).
Target example

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 not develop any new project/site in or near priority areas (PA's), or key biodiversity areas (KBA's) in [target location(s)] from [target year]
Target source: WBCSD target template
Additional target notes
Alternative target for consideration: [Company name] will reduce the number of sites in or near priority areas (PA's), or key biodiversity areas (KBA's) by [target amount, in absolute number of sites or percentage] in [direct operations] by [target year] compared with a [target baseline] baseline.
