• Driver of nature change: Land/freshwater/ ocean-use change

    Total spatial footprint (C1.0)

    Total spatial footprint (km2) (sum of):

    • Total surface area controlled/ managed by the organisation, where the organisation has control (km2);
    • Total disturbed area (km2); and
    • Total rehabilitated/restored area (km2).
    For the purposes of the core global disclosure metric:

    • Sustainably managed refers to the UN FAO definition of sustainable forest management (see glossary);
    • An organisation may provide information additional to the GET to define the type of ecosystem, such as regional or local classifications;
    • An organisation should provide additional detail on the type of forest, where applicable (e.g. semi-natural forests); and
    • Business activity refers to core business activities/stages of the value chain. A forest sector company should follow the same approach as defined in the FSG Nature Positive Roadmap: forest production, processing and manufacturing, downstream.

    No further guidance.

  • Driver of nature change: Pollution/pollution removal

    Non-GHG air pollutants (C2.4)

    Non-GHG air pollutants (tonnes) by type:

    • Particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10);
    • Nitrogen oxides (NO2, NO and NO3);
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOC or NMVOC);
    • Sulphur oxides (SO2, SO, SO3, SOX); and
    • Ammonia (NH3).
    Additional pollutants to report under the core global disclosure metric include:

    • Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

    From the list of pollutants under the core global disclosure metric, an organisation should particularly look to include particulate matter from the combustion of wood fuel from the production stage; and sulphur and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from processing and manufacturing.
