Nature-related reputational risk financial exposure
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Discloses exposure to increased operational costs and/or lost revenue arising from reputational risks associated with nature-related issues, with the assessment boundary, financial basis and estimation method made explicit.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- Structured table — see field-level units
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period for which the organization assesses exposure to increased operational costs or lost revenue from nature-related reputational risks.
Unit meaning: Each field uses its source-defined unit and retains the applicable location, ecosystem type, value-chain position, status and method.
Table fields and units
- Reputational-risk exposure category

Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. TNFD Annex 2 metric A13.0 identifies a separately reportable nature-related reputational-risk exposure outcome. It does not prescribe a single universal unit, formula or calculation method, so it is published conservatively as a structured financial-exposure disclosure rather than as a scalar monetary metric. It is an optional additional TNFD metric, not a core Annex 1 acceptance gate.
Verified sources
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.

Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: Recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, September 2023.
- State the organizational, operational and value-chain boundary included in the assessment.
- Describe how nature-related reputational risks were identified, assessed and determined to be relevant.
- Disclose whether exposure represents increased operational costs, lost revenue, or both.
- State the estimation approach, material assumptions, use of scenarios or time horizons, and whether estimates are direct or proxy-based.
- For monetary fields, state the reporting currency, valuation basis and whether values are gross exposure, net exposure, expected loss, or another stated financial basis.
- Identify material geographic, business-activity or priority-location concentrations where these affect interpretation.
Record-specific limitations
- TNFD metric A13.0 describes exposure but does not prescribe a universal calculation methodology, risk threshold, scenario set, reporting currency or single scalar unit.
- Reported exposure depends on the organization’s identification and assessment of reputational risks associated with nature-related issues.
- Amounts, if reported, are estimates and should not be interpreted as realized costs or realized revenue loss unless separately identified as such.
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.
