GRI 101-4 Identification of biodiversity impacts
Target example
[Company name] shall source 100% volumes of high-risk natural commodities from areas known to be deforestation and conversion-free by [2027 (or earliest post-2027 date)] compared to a 2020* cutoff year. (* While the cutoff date of 2020 and the goal of no conversion is aligned both to science and international commitments and policies, the target date may differ based on implementation hurdles and local context.)

Additional Metric Notes
Rationale
- The sourcing and production of high-risk commodities can have significant impacts on nature. Therefore, it is important to understand these activities and how they place pressure on the natural environment.
- Per TNFD guidance, users should refer to the SBTN High Impact Commodity List (HICL) and indicate what proportion of these commodities involve threatened and CITES-listed species.
Additional/complementary metrics
- Proportion of total natural commodities sourced (%)
- Quantity sourced under a sustainable management plan or certification program
