Value structure
Dimensions and units
- Unit
- m³ — source-defined reporting unit
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period
Unit meaning: Values use m³ under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.
Published dimensions
- Water management category: reused or recycled, where separately tracked.
- Operational boundary covered by the reported volume.
Disclosure method
Formula information
- Status
- Not applicable
- Formula type
- Structured Disclosure
Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. Published as a standalone operational water outcome explicitly requested as a supplementary water-stewardship disclosure. It is distinct from total water consumption, discharge, replenishment, and water-consumption intensity because it reports water recirculated within operations.
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.

Interpretation boundaries
Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- State whether the reported volume is a combined reused-or-recycled amount or separately tracked reused and recycled amounts.
- Describe the operational perimeter and facilities included.
- Describe the methodology used to measure, estimate, or compile reused and recycled water volumes and controls used to avoid double counting.
Record-specific limitations
- The evidence does not specify whether reused and recycled water must be reported as separate values or as one combined value.
- The evidence does not define reuse or recycling eligibility criteria, water-quality treatment, source-water categories, measurement methods, or treatment of multiple reuse cycles.
- This supplementary disclosure does not measure water consumption, discharge, replenishment, or water-stress exposure.
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.
