| Framework | Provision | Relation | Confidence | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESRS E4 | E4-3 | Narrow match | Indicative (55%) | The creation of a Structured Biodiversity Area / plant palette / building greening falls under habitat restoration and rehabilitation (mitigation hierarchy). |
| TNFD | RE.A1.1 | Exact match | High | Building greening, the native plant palette and the Biotope Area Factor directly measure the green spaces created and the share of native species of RE.A1.1. |
