Deforestation and conversion-free sourced volume share
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Share of a named product's sourced physical volume assessed as free from deforestation and natural-ecosystem conversion after a declared cutoff or reference date.

Reporting boundary
Reporting-period sourced physical volume for a named product under a declared cutoff, ecosystem scope, assessment method, and denominator policy. Any EUDR-labelled row is limited to the applicable legal commodity, product, forest definition, and cohort.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- Structured table — see field-level units
- Reporting basis
- Reporting-period sourced flow assessed against a declared cutoff
Unit meaning: This metric is reported as a structured table; each field carries the unit stated in the table fields below.
Table fields and units
- Product, commodity, sourcing region, traceability level, and reporting period
- Assessed-free sourced physical volume (named mass, volume, or item unit)
- Total in-scope sourced physical volume (same named physical unit)
- % of the named product's sourced physical volume (0–100; not a spend share)
- Unknown volume, cutoff or reference date, ecosystem scope, method, evidence, and legal cohort
Published dimensions
- Product, commodity, sourcing region, cutoff, ecosystem scope, traceability, and assessment method
Calculation method
Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
P = (N ÷ D) × 100Use the source-defined numerator and denominator for the same population, period, boundary, and method; do not infer an unstated denominator.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
N | qualifying numerator | Qualifying observations within the qualifying population and boundary defined for Deforestation and conversion-free sourced volume share. | Dimensionless |
D | declared denominator | Complete compatible denominator for the qualifying population and boundary defined for Deforestation and conversion-free sourced volume share. | Dimensionless |
Verified sources
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: Effective GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024 reporting profile; Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 is in force but its main substantive obligations are future-applicable by cohort.
- Name product, commodity, sourcing region or supplier, country, traceability level, and reporting period.
- State assessed-free and total in-scope sourced physical volumes in the same named unit.
- State the percentage of sourced physical volume, cutoff or reference date, and forest-only or all-natural-ecosystem scope.
- State assessment method, evidence type, unknown volume, denominator policy, and method edition.
- If EUDR is claimed, state product scope, 31 December 2020 cutoff, cohort, application date, and legal-status basis.
Record-specific limitations
- Supplier, monitoring, certification, and jurisdictional evidence vary in precision and do not necessarily establish plot-level compliance.
- GRI conversion-free and EUDR deforestation-free scopes, definitions, cutoffs, and cohorts are not interchangeable.
- Unknown or unassessed volume is not conversion-free and cannot be silently removed from the denominator.
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.
