Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Frequency with which management receives communications on nature-related performance and progress in priority locations during the reporting period.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- communications per reporting period — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period
Unit meaning: Values use communications per reporting period under the disclosed TNFD Recommendations method, period, location and reporting boundary.
Published dimensions
- priority location
- management recipient or management level
- nature-related performance or progress subject
- communication channel or forum
- reporting period
Calculation method
Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Rate
Formula
F = N / PApply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. The suggested governance indicator specifies a reportable frequency, recipient, subject matter, and location context. It can be reported as a scalar rate while retaining priority location and management-recipient dimensions.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
F | Communication frequency | Frequency of qualifying communications concerning nature-related performance and progress in priority locations to management. | communications per reporting period |
N | Qualifying communications | Count of communications to management concerning performance and progress in priority locations during the reporting period. | communications |
P | Reporting period | The period over which qualifying communications are counted. | reporting period |

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.
- Define a qualifying communication and whether repeated discussion of the same matter is counted separately.
- Identify the priority locations covered and the approach used to determine priority locations.
- State the management population or level receiving the communications.
- Disclose the reporting-period coverage and any excluded communication channels or locations.
Record-specific limitations
- Communication frequency does not demonstrate the quality, completeness, timeliness, management response, or effectiveness of oversight.
- Priority locations should not be combined where their natural characteristics are materially different.
- The source presents this as a suggested supporting indicator rather than an Annex 1 core global metric.
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.
