Formula
Percentage of operational locations with IPLC consultation = (operational locations where IPLCs are present or affected and consultation has occurred / total operational locations where IPLCs are present or affected) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The metric has an explicit reportable population, count and percentage outcome. It is distinct from general engagement-management disclosures and from metrics on community impacts because it specifically measures consultation coverage for operational locations with IPLC presence or exposure.

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.

- Disclose the basis for identifying locations where Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities are present or affected.
- Disclose the basis used to determine whether consultation has occurred.
- Disclose the numerator and denominator used for the reported percentage.
Record-specific limitations
- The source does not define a consultation quality threshold, consultation process, or location-identification methodology.
- The percentage is meaningful only in relation to the reported total population of locations where Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities are present or affected.
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.
