Formula
P_h = (R_h / R_total) × 100, reported for each WHO toxicity hazard level h.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone revenue-based exposure metric with an explicit denominator, percentage value shape and required WHO hazard-level disaggregation. It is distinct from manufacturing-output metrics and from the shortlisted metrics, none of which measure pesticide-manufacturing revenue by toxicity classification.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
P_h | Revenue proportion for hazard level h | Percentage of total revenue generated from pesticides manufactured in WHO toxicity hazard level h. | % of total revenue |
R_h | Revenue from pesticides manufactured in hazard level h | Revenue generated from pesticides manufactured in WHO toxicity hazard level h. | currency |
R_total | Total revenue | Total revenue used as the denominator for the reporting period. | currency |

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).
- Disclose total revenue used as the denominator.
- Disclose revenue attributed to pesticides manufactured within each WHO toxicity hazard level.
- Disclose the WHO hazard classification applied, including treatment of categories Ia, Ib, II, III and U.
- Disclose the boundary and basis used to identify revenue generated from manufactured pesticides.
Record-specific limitations
- The metric measures revenue exposure by pesticide hazard classification, not pesticide volumes, environmental releases, use patterns or realized ecological impacts.
- EU definitions for hazardous pesticides are provided as reference context in Annex 2; they should not be substituted for the stated WHO hazard-level dimension without clear disclosure.
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.
