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. Key resources: SBTN-HICL; commodity certification schemes Additional/complementary metrics: Proportion of total natural commodities ​sourced (%) Quantity sourced under a sustainable management plan or certification program Landscape deep dives: Cerrado, BR - soy (+ corn/cotton rotation) - Soy + corn + cotton on SBTN-HICL & soy in-scope for EUDR Key resources: Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS): https://responsiblesoy.org/ Better Cotton Initiative: https://bettercotton.org/; Upper Midwest, USA - corn (+ soy rotation) - Corn + soy on SBTN-HICL & soy in-scope for EUDR Key resources: Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS): https://responsiblesoy.org/ ; Mekong Delta, VA - rice (+ aquaculture rotation) - Rice + farmed seafood on SBTN-HICL Key resources: Sustainable Rice Platform: https://sustainablerice.org/; Friesland, NL - dairy (incl roughage growing) - Beef + dairy on SBTN-HICL & in-scope for EUDR Key resources: Biodiversity Monitor for the Dairy Farming Sector (Certification and Management Packages): https://biodiversiteitsmonitormelkveehouderij.nl/certificatie; Sidama, ETH - coffee - Coffee on SBTN-HICL & in-scope for EUDR Key resources: Rainforest Alliance Regenerative Coffee Scorecard: https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/resource-item/regenerative-coffee-scorecard/
