05.01Deforestation-Free SourcingPercentage of raw material inputs verified as sourced without associated deforestation or forest degradation after a declared cut-off date.P1Weighted averageHigher
05.02Land Use ChangeArea of natural ecosystems converted to managed land for production or extraction activities, in hectares.haSumLower
05.03Total Land UseTotal area of land occupied for production or extraction activities over the reporting period, in hectares, including land converted before the period began.haSumLower
05.04Potentially Disappeared Fraction of SpeciesPotentially disappeared fraction of species, the share of species present in an area that is expected to be lost as a result of the activity assessed, expressed as a fraction between 0 and 1.1Weighted averageLower
05.05Protected Area ImpactArea of operations, sourcing, or infrastructure footprint located within or adjacent to legally protected or high-biodiversity-value areas, in hectares.haSumLower
05.06Mean Species AbundanceMean species abundance, the average abundance of originally occurring species relative to their abundance in an undisturbed reference state, expressed as a fraction between 0 and 1 where 1 is an intact ecosystem.1Weighted averageHigher
