Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- % — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period
Unit meaning: Values use % under the disclosed TNFD Recommendations method, period, location and reporting boundary.
Published dimensions
- direct operations
- operational location or site
- geography
- assessment scope
- assessment method: direct or proxy
- nature-related issue type: dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities

- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
(N_assessed / N_direct_operational_locations) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. A25.1 specifies a reportable proportion of a company's own operational sites that have undergone nature-related assessments. It is a standalone assessment-coverage outcome with a defined percentage value shape and direct-operations boundary. It is retained as an Annex 2 additional metric rather than treated as a core acceptance gate.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
N_assessed | Direct operational locations assessed | Number of the reporting organization's direct operational locations that underwent the disclosed nature-related assessment. | locations |
N_direct_operational_locations | Total direct operational locations | Number of direct operational locations in the disclosed reporting boundary and denominator population. | locations |

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: Recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, September 2023.
- Definition of direct operational location and the denominator population.
- Nature-related assessment scope, criteria, and assessment date or period.
- Whether assessments use direct site evidence, proxy methods, or a combination.
- Treatment of locations that are opened, closed, acquired, disposed of, or otherwise change during the reporting period.
Record-specific limitations
- Assessment coverage does not indicate the severity, materiality, or management quality of identified nature-related issues.
- Comparability depends on the organization's definition of an operational location and on the assessment scope, criteria, and method.
- The metric should not be interpreted as coverage of upstream or downstream value-chain locations.
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.
