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 40d (i)
GBF Target 5, Target 9
Target example
i
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 have zero conversion of [specify relevant threatened species] habitat in [target location(s)] by [2025, or earliest post-2025 date], compared with 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.)
Target source: Adapted from SBTN Land Target

Related actions
i
The other actions that the metric is mapped to.
Support targeted species recovery programs to restore genetic diversity among populations of native, wild and domesticated species at operating sites
Undertake compensatory conservation through target-based ecological compensation
Select and manage native, local plants species on-site and in landscaping to retain biodiversity
Protect biodiversity during harvesting and production
Design and implement projects that avoid natural habitats, maintain habitat connectivity, and prioritize ecosystem functioning and services
Engage and invest in the restoration or afforestation of degraded land within or around operations
Engage in context-based landscape management approaches (e.g., watershed stewardship and enhancing biodiversity)
Avoid establishing operations in / adjacent to areas of significant biodiversity value
Avoid harmful activities during times of vulnerability for key and threatened local species
Create buffer zones/ecological corridors around valuable ecosystems
