Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. The source expressly requests both a count and a percentage of total sites. These are reciprocal fields of one structured site-exposure metric and should remain together, rather than being merged with water withdrawal or consumption in scarcity areas.

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).
- Define the site population included in the total-site denominator.
- Disclose the method, source, and geographic basis used to identify areas of water scarcity.
- State whether the reported count and percentage cover all organizational sites or a defined subset.
Record-specific limitations
- The extracted evidence does not specify a required water-scarcity dataset, threshold, geography resolution, or site-definition methodology.
- The percentage is meaningful only when reported with the total-site denominator and the basis used to identify water-scarcity areas.
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.
