MetricNature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities

Time-bound and quantifiable nature-related target share

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Reports the percentage of applicable nature-related targets that are both time-bound and quantifiable.

Specification

Metric specification

Result format
Single value
Unit
% — source-defined reporting unit
Reporting basis
Reporting period declared for the TNFD disclosure
Aggregation
Divide the count of applicable nature-related targets that are both time-bound and quantifiable by the total applicable target count, then multiply by 100.

Reporting boundary

Applicable nature-related targets in the declared reporting boundary and period, with duplicate targets counted once.

Value structure

Dimensions and units

Unit
% — source-defined reporting unit
Reporting basis
Reporting period declared for the TNFD disclosure

Unit meaning: Values use % under the disclosed TNFD Recommendations method, period, location and reporting boundary.

Published dimensions

  • Target portfolio
  • Time-bound status
  • Quantifiable status
  • Direct operations, upstream value chain or downstream value chain
  • Geography or priority location

Calculation method

Formula information

Status
Specified
Formula type
Percentage

Formula

P = (T_qualified / T_total) * 100

Apply the source-defined TNFD Recommendations method only within the disclosed location, ecosystem and value-chain boundary. TNFD Annex 2 metric A19.0 explicitly defines a proportion. Percentage presentation preserves the numerator and denominator without inventing a currency or target threshold.

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.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, September 2023.

  • Qualifying time-bound and quantifiable target count
  • Total applicable target count
  • Classification criteria and zero-denominator treatment
  • TNFD metric number and September 2023 edition
  • Reporting period, value-chain position and location boundary

Record-specific limitations

  • The result depends on the declared target population and the criteria used for time-bound and quantifiable status.
  • A zero total-target denominator has no numeric percentage result.

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.
