Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company does not have a commitment to ensure zero conversion. While the company has a target to achieve conversion-free supply chains, it does not cover all high-risk commodities. Additionally, it does not disclose activities to achieve conversion-free supply chains.
Furthermore, the company is not committed to restoring ecosystems and 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 1, 2 and 3 emissions and report progress against them. Crucially, it needs to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and its targets should align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Impact and dependencies assessment
The company plans to disclose time-bound goals for addressing supply chain deforestation and biodiversity risk by 2024 and has ecosystems and biodiversity management plans, which include flora and fauna assessments at operational sites. However, there’s no evidence that the company discloses the methodology and results of these assessments within its own operations. Additionally, the company does not disclose assessments of its impacts on nature, including biodiversity, in its supply chain, nor does it assess or disclose its dependencies on nature within its own operations or 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
The company has an opportunity to disclose locations within or adjacent to areas important for biodiversity, both in its own operations and its supplier locations. It could also disclose species populations existing in or adjacent to both its own and its suppliers’ locations, as well as the conservation status of species identified at its own sites according to national and international lists.
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. It could also disclose a target to improve soil health in its production or sourcing practices and report progress against it.
Solid and air pollution
The company should commit to avoid developing or marketing new chemicals or products with SVHC (substance of very high concern) properties, as well as work on reducing the production of hazardous substances. It has an opportunity to disclose quantitative evidence regarding plastic use reduction and use of sustainable packaging, including the amount of plastic waste generated and proportions directed from or to disposal. While the company reports on air pollutants for some of its sites, it has an opportunity to begin reporting at group level and disclose report time-bound targets to reduce air pollutants across the most material parts of its value chain.
Water
The company does not disclose relevant information related to water, in its operations or supply chains.
