Calculation method
Formula information
- Status
- Specified
- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
(Number of plant primary raw material suppliers with a qualifying policy ÷ total number of plant primary raw material suppliers) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone supplier-policy coverage percentage with a distinct supplier population and prohibition criterion. The shortlisted ESRS records are generally binary policy disclosures at the reporting organization level, not a percentage of plant primary raw material suppliers meeting this specific policy condition.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
S_p | Suppliers with qualifying policy | Number of plant primary raw material suppliers with policies prohibiting sourcing from land that violates land-use or environmental regulations. | count of suppliers |
S_t | Total plant primary raw material suppliers | Total number of plant primary raw material suppliers in the defined reporting boundary. | count of suppliers |

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.

- Define the plant primary raw material supplier population included in the denominator.
- Define the policy criteria, including the land-use and environmental regulations relevant to the assessment.
- Disclose the numerator and denominator supplier counts.
- State whether the supplier population includes direct suppliers only or other supply-chain tiers.
Record-specific limitations
- The measure assesses supplier policy coverage and does not directly establish whether sourcing occurred from land in violation of applicable land-use or environmental regulations.
- Results depend on the definition of plant primary raw material supplier, applicable regulations, and evidence used to assess policy coverage.
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.
