Governance
Governance A
Describe the board’s oversight of nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
Governance B
Describe management’s role in assessing and managing nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
Governance C
Describe the organisation’s human rights policies and engagement activities, and oversight by the board and management, with respect to Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities, affected and other stakeholders, in the organisation’s assessment of, and response to, nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
Strategy
Strategy A
Describe the nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium and long term.
Strategy B
Describe the effect nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities have had on the organisation’s business model, value chain, strategy and financial planning, as well as any transition plans or analysis in place.
Strategy C
Describe the resilience of the organisation’s strategy to nature-related risks and opportunities, taking into consideration different scenarios.
Strategy D
Disclose the locations of assets and/or activities in the organisation’s direct operations and, where possible, upstream and downstream value chain(s) that meet the criteria for priority locations.
Risk & impact management
Risk & impact A (i)
Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying, assessing and prioritising nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities in its direct operations.
Risk & impact A (ii)
Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying, assessing and prioritising nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities in its upstream and downstream value chain(s).
Risk & impact B
Describe the organisation’s processes for managing nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
Risk & impact C
Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, prioritising and monitoring nature-related risks are integrated into and inform the organisation’s overall risk management processes.
Metrics & targets
Metrics & targets A
Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess and manage material nature-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process.
Metrics & targets B
Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess and manage dependencies and impacts on nature.
Metrics & targets C
Describe the targets and goals used by the organisation to manage nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities and its performance against these.

Strategy A
Relates to LEAP phase: Evaluate
Describe your impacts & dependencies:
- Where are they?
- Are they part of your direct operations or wider value chain?
- What’s their impact pathway (How certain impact drivers/external factors are affecting the state of nature and the availability of ecosystem services) or dependency pathway (The environmental assets and ecosystem services the organisation depends on and the associated impact drivers and external factors affecting them)
- Are there any interconnections between the organisation’s dependencies and impacts?
Describe your risks & opportunities:
- What are they?
- What time horizon are they on (short, medium and long term)?
- Which TNFD risk and opportunity category are they in?
