MetricResponsible sourcing and supply-chain traceability

Non-certified wood or fibre covered by due-diligence and traceability systems

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Calculation method

Formula information

Status
Specified
Formula type
Percentage

Formula

Coverage (%) = (quantity of non-certified wood or fibre in the supply chain covered by operational due-diligence and traceability systems ÷ total quantity of non-certified wood or fibre in the supply chain) × 100.

Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The candidate specifies a reportable supply-chain coverage percentage, explicit material population, and required management-system condition. It is not the same construct as the shortlist's broad supplier nature due-diligence profile, which includes multiple supplier screening, engagement, certification and implementation fields rather than this defined non-certified wood/fibre coverage ratio.

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: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Define the supply-chain boundary used.
  • Define non-certified wood or fibre for the reported calculation.
  • Describe the operational due-diligence and traceability systems used to establish coverage.
  • Disclose whether wood and fibre are reported together or separately.
  • Describe the basis used to determine that systems ensure responsible sourcing.

Record-specific limitations

  • The extracted evidence does not specify whether wood and fibre are to be reported separately or combined.
  • The extracted evidence does not define acceptable certification schemes or the detailed criteria for responsible sourcing.
  • The extracted evidence does not specify treatment of volumes with unknown certification status.

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.
