Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company does not disclose a commitment to minimise ecosystem conversion or to ensure zero conversion, nor does it have time-bound targets to achieve conversion-free supply chains. The company also does not disclose activities to minimise ecosystem conversion.
Finally, 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 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions as well as report progress against them. Crucially, the company needs to reduce its scope 3 emissions and all of its targets need to align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Impact and dependencies assessment
While the company has initiated flora and fauna assessments and adopts high conservation values and high carbon stock assessments to identify conservation areas within its operations, it still has an opportunity to fully assess and disclose the impacts of its own operations on nature, including the methodology and results. Additionally, the company could benefit from evaluating and disclosing its impacts and dependencies on nature in its 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 examined species against the IUCN Red List and identified several species of plants and mammals, it still has an opportunity to specify the names of these species present in or near its facilities as well as the conservation status of those species. Although it recognizes 79.63 ha of HCS areas and 35.82 ha of the riparian buffer, the precise location and specific biodiversity-rich area names remain undisclosed. Similarly, there’s potential to enhance transparency regarding supplier locations in relation to biodiversity hotspots and to provide clarity on the species populations identified across their operations.
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 should work on reducing the production of hazardous substances and waste. It has an opportunity to report on air quality parameters of emissions of harmful air pollutants and disclose time-bound targets to reduce air pollutants across the most material parts of its value chain. The company could also provide 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.
Water
The company reports an increase in water withdrawal. The company has an opportunity to set time-bound targets and engage with suppliers to reduce water withdrawal. The company does not disclose its water pollution metrics, and there is no evidence the company has set targets to reduce water pollution. The company does not disclose a commitment to respect the right to water. The company does not disclose its processes for implementing preventive and corrective action plans for identified specific risks to the right to water and sanitation in its own operations.
