Impact and dependencies assessment
The company has not holistically assessed its impacts or how it depends on nature, including biodiversity. It has an opportunity to start such an assessment across its value chains, focused on quantification of its impacts or dependencies. The company does not disclose any assessment of its dependencies on nature within its own operations or its upstream business relationships.
Key areas and species
The company discloses the locations that are in or adjacent to areas important for biodiversity within its own operations, but it does not disclose the locations of its suppliers that are in or adjacent to areas important for biodiversity. The company does not disclose species populations existing in or adjacent to its own locations and of its suppliers. It does, however, disclose the status according to national and international conservation lists of species identified in its own locations.

The company discloses some activities to achieve conversion-free supply chains but does not have time-bound targets to achieve conversion-free supply chains.

Even though the company discloses some preventive action programmes for specific risks to water rights, these do not reference communities or other users in their surroundings.
Solid and air pollution
The company is not reducing the production of hazardous waste. While the company mentions saving 14 million pounds of newly produced plastic, it is not clear how the company calculated this number nor how it compares to other years. The company does not report on the amount of plastic waste generated and proportions directed from or to disposal. The company reports regularly on air quality parameters of emissions of harmful air pollutants. However, the company does not report time-bound targets to reduce air pollutants across the most material parts of its value chain.
