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.

  • Direct operations, upstream or downstream value-chain boundary
  • Geographic location and priority-location status
  • Metric number, core or additional status and comply-or-explain treatment
  • Measured amount, field-level unit, period and method
  • Exclusions, estimates and aggregation basis

Record-specific limitations

  • Combine only observations with compatible locations, ecosystem types, value-chain positions, periods, units and methods.
  • TNFD core, additional, sector and placeholder status must remain explicit.

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.
