KPIs Proposed for Removal 2025 - December Theme Indicator Reason Business and Industry Total area-wide Carbon dioxide emissions (kt CO2e) from industrial and commercial sources Already reported in Buildings and Energy KPIs Land Use % Of Protected Biological and Mixed SSSI Sites in favourable condition No longer a relevant way of measuring the overall condition of the site, as it just looks at the qualifying feature rather than the overall biodiversity of the protected area. NatureScot are planning to change this. Land Use % Of Protected Nature Site Features in Favourable or Recovering Condition No longer a relevant way of measuring the overall condition of the site, as it just looks at the qualifying feature rather than the overall biodiversity of the protected area.
