Narrower Concepts
| URI | Definition |
|---|---|
| metrics:deforestation-free-sourcing | Percentage of raw material inputs verified as sourced without associated deforestation or forest degradation after a declared cut-off date. |
| metrics:land-use-change | Area of natural ecosystems converted to managed land for production or extraction activities, in hectares. |
| metrics:biodiversity-impact-score | Composite index quantifying the impact of operations on species diversity and ecosystem integrity, using a recognised assessment framework (e.g., STAR, BII). |
| metrics:protected-area-impact | Area of operations, sourcing, or infrastructure footprint located within or adjacent to legally protected or high-biodiversity-value areas, in hectares. |
