Ecosystem conversion and restoration
No evidence was found regarding the company’s efforts to avoid ecosystem conversion, including deforestation, or promote restoration. The company has an opportunity to develop a strategy and publicly report on specific, time-bound targets.
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 as well and its targets need to align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Impact and dependencies assessment
The company has developed a farm stewardship self-assessment to collect metrics on environmental, social, and economic aspects and uses the Farm Stewardship Assessment (FSA) to engage farmers. Nonetheless, the company has an opportunity to disclose the methodology and full results of these assessments. It has yet to evaluate or disclose its nature-related impacts or dependencies in 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 existing 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. The company also has an opportunity to disclose a target to improve soil health in its production or sourcing practices and to 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 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. While the company describes its activities to transition towards sustainable packaging, it has an opportunity to disclose the quantitative data associated with plastic use reduction, including the amount of plastic waste generated and proportions directed from or to disposal.
Water
The company does not disclose relevant information related to water, in its operations or supply chains.
