The process framework diagram presents 5 sequential steps for integrating biodiversity indicators into supply chain management systems. Step 1 focuses on mapping biodiversity-sensitive hotspots in the supply chain by identifying products, regions, or suppliers with high biodiversity dependence or impact, such as forest frontiers, fisheries, and biodiversity-rich basins. Step 2 involves selecting a small and balanced set of indicators using the D P S I R framework, including pressure, state, impact, and response indicators such as deforestation rate, habitat integrity index, pollinator dependency index, and restoration progress. Step 3 assigns indicators to specific supply chain actors and stages, including upstream producers, manufacturers, logistics providers, brand owners, retailers, and policymakers. Step 4 identifies feasible data sources by combining operational data, remote sensing, certification and audit data, and external biodiversity datasets. Step 5 embeds indicators into existing management systems, including supplier scorecards, sourcing policies, risk dashboards, and sustainability reporting frameworks such as G R I 304 and T N F D, to prioritise interventions and monitor progress.Implementation roadmap
