Operational sites with developed and actively executing nature action plans
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Percentage of operational sites that have developed and are actively executing nature action plans.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Single value
- Unit
- % — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period in which nature action-plan development and active execution status are assessed.
- Aggregation
- Percentage of operational sites meeting both the developed-plan and actively-executing-plan conditions, out of total operational sites in the reporting boundary.
- Pillar
- Environmental
- Topic
- Nature action plan implementation
- Controlled domain
- Nature, biodiversity and land
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Organization’s operational sites included in the reported organizational boundary; report site-level results or disaggregation where natural characteristics are materially different.

Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- % — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period in which nature action-plan development and active execution status are assessed.
Unit meaning: Values use % under the disclosed TNFD Recommendations method, period, location and reporting boundary.

Formula
(N_active_nature_action_plan_sites / N_operational_sites) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. TNFD Annex 2 metric A23.0 defines a reportable coverage proportion with a stated percent unit and operational-site denominator. It is published as an optional additional metric, with site and natural-location dimensions retained.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
N_active_nature_action_plan_sites | Operational sites with developed and actively executing nature action plans | Number of operational sites that have developed nature action plans and are actively executing them during the reporting period. | sites |
N_operational_sites | Operational sites | Total number of operational sites within the disclosed reporting boundary. | sites |

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 operational-site population and organizational boundary used as the denominator.
- Define the criteria for a nature action plan to be considered developed.
- Define the criteria and evidence used to determine that a plan is actively being executed.
- Disclose the reporting date or period for plan-status assessment.
- Disaggregate or explain aggregation across geographies, priority locations, ecosystems or biomes, and business activities where material.
Record-specific limitations
- This is an optional additional TNFD metric in Annex 2, not an Annex 1 core global metric.
- The metric measures coverage of developed and actively executed plans, not plan quality, effectiveness, ecological outcome, or progress toward a nature target.
- Comparable reporting depends on clear definitions of an operational site, a nature action plan, and active execution.
- Locations with materially different natural characteristics should not be obscured through undifferentiated aggregation.
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.
