Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- percent or proportion — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period
Unit meaning: Values use percent or proportion under the disclosed TNFD Recommendations method, period, location and reporting boundary.
Published dimensions
- location type: geographical site or priority location
- geography or location identifier
- target identity
- target status or coverage basis
Calculation method
Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
(Number of geographical sites or priority locations covered by nature-related targets / Total number of geographical sites or priority locations in scope) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. A reportable Annex 2 target-coverage outcome is explicitly identified in Table 10. It is distinct from target names or target-setting process disclosures and does not match an existing shortlist construct.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
C | Covered sites or priority locations | Number of geographical sites or priority locations included in the organization's nature-related targets. | count |
T | Total sites or priority locations in scope | Total number of geographical sites or priority locations in the organization's defined target-setting scope. | count |

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 the population of geographical sites and priority locations used as the denominator.
- Describe the criteria used to determine whether a site or priority location is covered by a target.
- Disclose the nature-related targets used, including their scope and location applicability.
- Explain any exclusions, proxy methods, and changes to the site or priority-location population.
Record-specific limitations
- The source does not prescribe a universal definition of a geographical site, priority location, or target coverage.
- Sites and locations with materially different natural characteristics should not be inappropriately aggregated.
- This is an Annex 2 additional metric and is not a TNFD Annex 1 core global metric acceptance gate.
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.
