<summary><strong>Input</strong>: How do I complete this indicator?</summary>

Select yes or no. If yes, disclose where the online information can be found.

### Terminology

**Disclosure**

> The act of making information or data readily accessible and available to all interested individuals and institutions. Disclosure does not need to be public, but must be external to the reporting entity and cannot be an internal and/or ad hoc communication within the participating entity.  &#x20;

**Waste production data**

> Data obtained through monitoring the waste production associated with the portfolio. The operational waste production of buildings leads to substantial environmental impact. Monitoring waste data is an important basis for reducing this impact.

<details>

<summary><strong>Validation</strong>: What evidence is required?</summary>

**Evidence:** URL. Ensure that the hyperlink is not outdated and the relevant page is directly accessible. It is possible to provide multiple hyperlinks.

Best practice disclosures would split up waste production per property type and disposal route and clearly indicate for which percentage of assets data is disclosed/available
