Voluntary (additional) TNFD A2.2 Volume of pollutants removed from land, atmosphere, ocean and freshwater
Voluntary P1, P2 Pollutant load reduction: Percentage (or total) pollutant load reduction in mass or volume/year (percentage of pollutant mass/volume) P3. Excess nutrients removed from the basin: Percentage of excess nutrients removed from the basin P3. Excess pollutants removed from the basin: Percentage of excess pollutants removed from the basin

Additional Metric Notes

ACT-D stage: Transform Maturity stage: Advancing Metric Contribution to Action: Quantifying pollutant removal tracks the effectiveness of cleanup efforts and reduces the long-term impact of water contamination. Observations/Sucesses/Challenges: > Pollutant removal (e.g., tons of plastic collected, CO₂ captured) can be quantified with appropriate monitoring. > The metric tracks removal volume but not whether it leads to meaningful environmental improvement.
