Formula
I_total = Σ_i I_iApply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. TNFD Annex 2 metric A24.3 is a standalone monetary investment metric. It is narrower than the shortlisted general community-investment expenditure metric because it is specifically limited to nature-related community development programs, and it is not the same construct as narrative community-engagement or policy disclosures.
Variables

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.
- State the currency or monetary denomination and the accounting or investment basis used for reported amounts.
- Describe the criteria used to identify a program as nature-related community development.
- Describe how programs benefiting Indigenous Peoples and local stakeholders are identified where such programs are included.
Record-specific limitations
- The source candidate specifies monetary value but does not specify a universal currency, accounting basis, or whether amounts are expenditures, commitments, or another investment basis.
- The source highlights Indigenous Peoples and local stakeholders but the extracted evidence does not define a mandatory beneficiary-group disaggregation.
- This is an Annex 2 optional additional metric, not an Annex 1 core global metric.
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.
