Environmental Metrics Beyond Carbon

No Deforestation, Land Use Change, Land Tracking, and Freshwater 

Environmental Metrics Beyond Carbon is a new publication from The Data Lab – Beyond Carbon, hosted by the Value Change Initiative (VCI). It addresses a critical gap in sustainability reporting by focusing on four essential metrics that go beyond greenhouse gas emissions: 

• - No Deforestation
• - Land Use Change
• - Land Tracking Metrics
• - Water Use and Quality 

As companies face growing expectations to understand and report their broader environmental impacts, this document explores practical strategies for integrating land and water metrics into existing reporting systems. It highlights current tools, disclosure standards, and three strategic pathways for implementation.
