Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. Published as a structured, independently reportable exposure metric with two explicit output fields—operation count and area. It is not equivalent to ESRS yes/no disclosures about whether affected communities are Indigenous Peoples, nor to rights-case or non-compliance-incident metrics.

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).
- Describe the criteria and information sources used to identify Indigenous Peoples as present or affected.
- Define the operation boundary and explain how total operational area is calculated, including treatment of overlaps.
- State whether the disclosure covers owned, operated, controlled, joint-venture, and value-chain sites, and identify exclusions.
- State the geographic scope and reporting-period basis used for the count and area.
Record-specific limitations
- The evidence does not define the criteria for determining that Indigenous Peoples are present or affected.
- The evidence does not define an operation, prescribe a spatial assessment method, or specify how overlapping operation areas are to be handled.
- The metric indicates exposure or potential interface with Indigenous Peoples; it does not itself measure consent, rights performance, grievance outcomes, or adverse-impact severity.
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.
