Formula
N_initiatives = count qualifying agreements in which the organization participated; N_stakeholders and N_groups are separately reported counts of stakeholders and stakeholder groups covered.Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. A20.1 specifies reportable counts for collaborative participation and stakeholder breadth. It is retained as a structured disclosure because the initiative, stakeholder, and stakeholder-group counts have different populations and meanings.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
N_initiatives | Participating initiatives | Number of qualifying sector-wide or multi-stakeholder agreements or initiatives in which the organization participated. | count |
N_stakeholders | Stakeholders covered | Number of stakeholders covered by the reported agreements or initiatives under the disclosed counting method. | count |
N_groups | Stakeholder groups covered | Number of stakeholder groups covered by the reported agreements or initiatives under the disclosed grouping method. | count |

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 what qualifies as a sector-wide or multi-stakeholder agreement or initiative.
- Disclose the participation criterion, including whether membership, active participation, funding, or another form of involvement is counted.
- Disclose the method for counting stakeholders and stakeholder groups and how duplicate participants across initiatives are handled.
- Identify the reporting period and organizational boundary covered.
Record-specific limitations
- Participation counts indicate involvement and breadth of engagement, not the effectiveness or outcomes of an agreement.
- Stakeholder counts and stakeholder-group counts are distinct measures and may overlap across initiatives.
- The metric is an optional additional TNFD metric and is not a core global metric acceptance gate.
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.
