• SDG 8 Decent Work — local employment in the environmental service sector.
• SDG 12 Responsible Consumption — sustainable management and reporting of marine resources.
• SDG 13 Climate Action — intact coral reefs mitigate climate impact and build coastal resilience.
• SDG 14 Life Below Water — directly delivers against 14.2, 14.4 and 14.5 through 60+ km of effective marine protection.
• SDG 16 Peace & Institutions — community-led patrols, transparent monitoring, village-level governance.
• SDG 17 Partnerships — mobilises private finance into effective conservation.

The Global Biodiversity Framework — 2050 Goals and 2030 Targets.

• Target 1 Participatory, biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning.
• Target 2 Restore 30% of degraded ecosystems.
• Target 3 Conserve 30% of coastal and marine areas by 2030 ("30×30").
• Target 5 Sustainable, legal and safe use of wild species.
• Target 8 Minimise impacts of climate change on biodiversity; nature-based solutions.
• Target 11 Restore and enhance nature's contributions to people.
• Target 15 Corporate biodiversity disclosure — the regulatory ancestor to TNFD/ESRS E4.
• Target 19 Mobilise $200B/year for biodiversity through innovative finance.

The Global Reporting Initiative's standards across biodiversity and local communities.

• GRI 101-1 Policies to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, informed by the GBF 2050 Goals and 2030 Targets.
• GRI 101-2 Management of biodiversity impacts — transformative conservation actions taken with third parties (NGOs, scientific institutions, local communities).
• GRI 413-1 Operations with local community engagement: impact assessments, ongoing monitoring, public disclosure, community-driven development programs.

Principles-based framework on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

• Principle 1 Support and respect human rights — Reefonomics delivers this through protecting the economic livelihood of coastal communities and the rights of local and Indigenous peoples.
• Principle 8 Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility — supported by measurable, transparent reef protection and ecological reporting.
