Formula
(Materials sold accompanied by an Environmental Product Declaration compliant with relevant industry standards / Total materials sold) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone, organization-reportable percentage outcome under TNFD Construction Materials additional metric CM.A22.0. It is distinct from the materials-used candidate because its numerator and denominator are expressly limited to materials sold. No shortlisted existing metric has the same construct, population, boundary, value shape, and unit.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
M_EPD | Materials sold accompanied by a compliant Environmental Product Declaration | Quantity of materials sold that are accompanied by an Environmental Product Declaration compliant with relevant industry standards. | same unit as total materials sold |
M_total | Total materials sold | Total quantity of materials sold within the reporting boundary. | same unit as materials sold accompanied by a compliant Environmental Product Declaration |

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.

- Identify the relevant industry standard used to determine Environmental Product Declaration compliance.
- Describe the population of materials sold included in the denominator.
- Report material-type disaggregation where applicable.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric measures the share of materials sold accompanied by an Environmental Product Declaration; it does not itself measure the environmental performance of the materials.
- Comparability depends on the relevant industry standards applied and the organization’s definition of materials sold.
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.
