Ecosystem conversion and restoration
While the company has a target to achieve conversion-free supply chains, it does not provide details of a plan which includes specific actions for engaging suppliers, developing alternative land-use practices, and investing in sustainable sourcing, as well as dedicated resources and KPIs for monitoring progress. Furthermore, the company is not committed to restoring ecosystems and it does not disclose details and outcomes of ecosystem restoration projects in areas affected by its own operations or by its suppliers.
GHG emissions
The company should set time-bound targets to reduce its scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions as well as report progress against all its scope 1, 2 and 3 targets. 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.
Invasive species
The company has not identified any activities that could lead to the introduction of invasive alien species in its own operations.
Key areas and species
While the company has been collaborating with Pro Specie Rara to promote native breeds of farm animals and plant varieties, it could further strengthen its biodiversity disclosures. Specifically, it could provide details about species in or adjacent to its own and its suppliers’ operations. Moreover, identifying locations within or adjacent to areas important for biodiversity, both in its own operations and those of its suppliers, would enhance transparency. Lastly, disclosing the conservation status of species found in these locations, according to international and national lists, would offer a fuller picture of its conservation efforts.
Resource exploitation and circularity performance
No evidence was found regarding the company’s efforts to work towards a circular economy or which organisms it exploits. The company has an opportunity to develop a strategy and publicly report on specific, time-bound targets.
Solid and air pollution
The company does not disclose relevant information related to pollution in its operations or supply chains.
Water
The company does not disclose relevant information related to water withdrawal or rights to water in its operations or supply chains. It has an opportunity to improve on its disclosure on water pollution by disclosing water pollutant metrics and setting time-bound targets to reduce them.
