Objet de l’information
E4-5 reports performance against material biodiversity and ecosystems change-related impacts, risks and opportunities.
The disclosure separates location information for material impacts, risks or opportunities under paragraph 19 from metrics for material impacts under paragraph 20. Risks and opportunities must not disappear from the location assessment even though paragraph 20 metrics focus on impacts.
Metrics are selected to represent the undertaking's material effects on biodiversity and ecosystems and are reported with the methodology, boundary, assumptions, comparatives and context required by GDR-M.

| Biodiversity-sensitive areas | Identify whether material locations are in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas and provide the relevant designation. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting biodiversity-sensitive areas. | Environment / Sustainability reporting |
| Material impacts by change driver | Identify the material impacts associated with land-use change, freshwater-use change, sea-use change, direct exploitation, invasive alien species, pollution, climate change or other relevant drivers. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting material impacts by change driver. | Environment / Sustainability reporting |
| State of species | Report relevant metrics for species population, range, extinction risk or other material species condition. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting state of species. | Environment / Sustainability reporting |
| Extent and condition of ecosystems | Report relevant metrics for ecosystem extent and condition. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting extent and condition of ecosystems. | Environment / Sustainability reporting |

| Relationship to material matters | Explain the metric's relationship to material impacts, risks or opportunities and to policies, actions or targets where relevant. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting relationship to material matters. | Sustainability reporting |
| Methodology and sources | Describe the measurement or calculation methodology, source data and significant assumptions. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting methodology and sources. | Sustainability reporting |
| Scope and boundary | State the reporting boundary, scope limitations and any applicable ESRS 1 relief. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting scope and boundary. | Sustainability reporting |
| Validation | State whether and how the metric was validated by an external body other than the assurance provider. | Dated source records, governance papers and approval evidence supporting validation. | Sustainability reporting |

Comment le préparer
Demander les données
Request the disclosure evidence
Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.
Provide the material-location register, biodiversity-sensitive area mapping, impact-driver analysis, species and ecosystem metrics, primary and estimated data, monitoring records, boundary, methodology, assumptions and comparatives.
Use the organisation's own role and document names, but preserve the defined ESRS terms and the scope described above.

Note méthodologique
Use defined ESRS terms, document primary data, remote sensing or estimates, and disclose applicable partial-scope reliefs rather than arbitrary site selection.
Note de contexte
Additional species designations or supporting indicators may be reported but do not replace the required location and material-impact structure.
