MetricTNFD LEAP Strategy assessment

Portfolio companies with nature-positive commitments, publicly available nature policies and time-bound science-based nature targets

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Assesses portfolio companies with nature-positive commitments, publicly available nature policies and time-bound science-based nature targets within the organisation's declared TNFD LEAP location, ecosystem, activity, value-chain and period boundary.

Specification

Result format
Structured table
Unit
Structured table — see field-level units
Reporting basis
The organisation-defined TNFD LEAP assessment period, with the measurement date, baseline and reference period disclosed where applicable.
Aggregation
Aggregate only observations sharing the same source-defined location, ecosystem or biome, business activity, value-chain boundary, unit, period and assessment method; retain material disaggregation.

Unit
Structured table — see field-level units
Reporting basis
The organisation-defined TNFD LEAP assessment period, with the measurement date, baseline and reference period disclosed where applicable.

Unit meaning: Each table field uses its stated unit. Each component retains its source-defined amount, percentage, score, count, ratio, intensity or qualitative field and assessment boundary.

Disclosure form

No single formula

Report the source-defined assessment result without inventing arithmetic. Preserve its location, ecosystem or biome, business activity, value-chain position, period, applicability and method. Annex 1 explicitly lists this as a suggested assessment metric. No existing public page was proven identical across measured construct, population, boundary, unit, aggregation, dimensions and method, so it remains a distinct canonical metric pending cross-library relationship review.

Verified sources

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.

  • Assessment location, ecosystem or biome and organisational or value-chain boundary
  • Metric definition, included population or observations, exclusions, unit and period
  • Data source, direct measurement or proxy status, estimation method, baseline and uncertainty
  • Annex 1 Table 28 inclusion status (N/A) and any sector- or biome-specific adaptation
  • Annex 1 source table, row, category, sub-category, indicator and disclosure-inclusion status
  • Location, ecosystem or biome, business activity and value-chain position
  • Assessment period, applicability, data source, method, assumptions and limitations

Record-specific limitations

  • TNFD presents Annex 1 as a non-exhaustive set of suggested assessment metrics, not a universally mandatory disclosure checklist.
  • Results are not comparable when location, ecosystem or biome, business activity, value-chain position, baseline, period or measurement method differs.
  • This metric supports source lookup and does not by itself establish TNFD conformity or determine materiality.
  • The Annex 1 assessment-metric set is optional and non-exhaustive; a public metric page does not make the result a mandatory TNFD disclosure.
  • Core, Additional, Core placeholder and N/A describe alignment with the separate TNFD Recommendations disclosure set, not whether a LEAP assessment row is mandatory.

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.
