Formula
Total clean-up costs = sum of monetary values assigned to reported clean-up activities required due to negative nature-related impacts.Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. A11.0 identifies a reportable monetary outcome accompanied by descriptive context. It is an optional Annex 2 additional metric rather than an Annex 1 core acceptance gate. The available evidence supports retaining activity and impact context rather than reducing the disclosure to an unsupported single undifferentiated cost figure.
Variables

C_total | Total clean-up costs | Sum of reported clean-up activity monetary values. | currency |

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.
- Describe the clean-up activities reported.
- Disclose the basis used to determine the monetary value.
- Explain material assumptions, estimates, and relevant liability-related transition-risk context.
Record-specific limitations
- The source evidence does not specify a prescribed currency, accounting basis, geographic allocation, or whether amounts are recognised costs, provisions, contingent liabilities, or estimated future expenditures.
- Monetary values may not be comparable where entities use different valuation, recognition, or estimation approaches.
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.
