Distance of site to ecologically sensitive area — GRI 101-5, paragraph b
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports distance of site to ecologically sensitive area as one edition-scoped GRI fact. The record preserves its value type, period, source boundary and interpretation context without copying source protocol prose.

No single formulaReport the source-defined fact directly with its value type, boundary, period, unit and dimensions. The taxonomy establishes a reportable fact but does not, by itself, establish a universal arithmetic identity.

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: GRI Sustainability Taxonomy, files published 19 June 2025 with entry point dated 23 June 2025.
- Report distance of site to ecologically sensitive area using its declared response type and source boundary.
- State the reporting entity, period or measurement date, unit or response type, scale and applicable dimensions.
- Disclose exclusions, estimates, conversions, restatements and assurance status.
- Retain the exact GRI source edition and disclosure locator with the observation.
Record-specific limitations
- A reportable taxonomy fact does not by itself establish performance, causation, impact quality or comparability.
- Comparisons require the same source edition, fact identity, population, boundary, period, unit and dimensional context.
- No arithmetic identity is asserted unless an independently reviewed method supplies explicit operands and controls.
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.
