Carbon sequestered on owned, leased or managed land and in wood products
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports the amount of carbon sequestered in tonnes of CO2 equivalent on land owned, leased or managed by the organization, disaggregated by forest plantations, natural or semi-natural land, and wood products.

Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source specifies a separately reportable environmental outcome, a quantitative unit and mandatory disaggregation categories. It is not the same construct as carbon footprint, product contained carbon, product carbon storage or land carbon leakage. Because the source does not prescribe a quantification method or temporal basis, the public metric is retained as a structured disclosure with explicit method and boundary disclosures rather than a single calculated scalar.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- Disclose the quantification methodology, data sources and any carbon-accounting standard used.
- Disclose the reporting-period basis and whether the amount represents sequestration during the period, a stock change, or another defined measure.
- Disclose treatment of carbon reversals, disturbances, harvesting, leakage, permanence and uncertainty where applicable.
- Disclose the organizational, operational and spatial boundary, including how owned, leased and managed land is identified.
- Disclose the basis for including wood products and their relationship to the reported land boundary.
Record-specific limitations
- The source specifies the reporting unit and required category breakdown but does not prescribe a calculation methodology, carbon-accounting standard, temporal basis, permanence treatment, or treatment of reversals.
- The source wording does not establish whether reported wood-product sequestration is restricted to products originating from owned, leased or managed land; this relationship should be disclosed.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
