Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company provides some evidence of addressing conversion, but this does not necessarily mean they have implemented DCF-aligned practices. Additionally, the company lacks specific, time-bound targets for achieving conversion-free supply chains. Moreover, the company’s commitment to restoring ecosystems is unclear as they do not disclose details or outcomes of restoration projects in areas impacted by their operations or suppliers.
GHG emissions
The company has targets to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions and it discloses that scope 1 and scope 2 emissions for 2022 were down 15% as compared with 2019. However, it does not have targets to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions across its own operations as whole. Then, the company should set time-bound targets to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions as well as report progress against them. Crucially, the company needs to reduce its scope 1,2 and 3 emissions and its targets need to align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Impact and dependencies assessment
The company has an opportunity to disclose assessments of its impacts on nature, including biodiversity, within its own operations and in its supply chain. It also has the opportunity to disclose its dependencies on nature within its own operations and upstream business relationships.

Key areas and species

Resource exploitation and circularity performance
The company has an opportunity to disclose its inputs according to an international standard, and to report quantitatively on its group-wide circularity performance. The company also has an opportunity to disclose activities to improve soil health or agrobiodiversity in its production or sourcing practices, to disclose a target to improve soil health in its production or sourcing practices and to report progress against it.
