Impact and dependencies assessment
The company does not disclose any assessment of its impacts on nature, including biodiversity, in its supply chain. Nor does it disclose any assessment of its dependencies on nature within its own operations. Furthermore, it does not disclose any assessment of dependencies on nature of its upstream business relationships.
Key areas and species
Although the company mentions that it uses the International Biodiversity Assessment Tool and that three sites are situated within or next to important bird and biodiversity areas, it only discloses information about one site. The company 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 or those of its suppliers. Nor does it disclose the status according to national and international conservation lists of species identified in its own locations.
Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company does not have a commitment to ensure zero conversion. It does not disclose any activities to achieve conversion-free supply chains or have time-bound targets to achieve conversion-free supply chains. No evidence was found of a commitment to minimise ecosystem conversion, although the company discloses some activities to minimise ecosystem conversion. The company is committed to restoring ecosystems but does not disclose details and outcomes of ecosystem restoration projects in areas affected by its own operations or by its suppliers.
Resource exploitation and circularity
The company does not report quantitatively on its group-wide circularity performance. While the company discloses activities to improve soil health or agrobiodiversity in its production or sourcing practices, it does not have an associated target.
Water
The company demonstrates it is reducing water withdrawal in its own operations. It also reports how much water is withdrawn for its own operations in water-stressed areas but does not engage with suppliers to reduce water withdrawal. The company reports a decrease in water pollution. However, it does not disclose its processes for managing and monitoring discharge water quality. It does not regularly report on water pollution or disclose targets to reduce water pollution. Further, it does not disclose a commitment to respect the right to water, nor its processes for implementing preventive and corrective action plans for identified specific risks to the right to water and sanitation in its own operations.
Solid and air pollution
The company is not reducing the production of hazardous waste or reducing plastic use and waste in its own operations. The company does not report on the amount of plastic waste generated and proportions directed from or to disposal. While the company reports regularly on air quality parameters of emissions of harmful air pollutants, it does not report time-bound targets to reduce air pollutants across the most material parts of its value chain.
GHG emissions
The company is reducing its scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. It has a time-bound target to reduce its scope 1 and 2 emissions and reports progress against the target. However, this target is not aligned with a 1.5-degree trajectory. The company is also reducing its scope 3 emissions. However, it does not disclose a time-bound reduction target or report progress against the target. Consequently, it is unclear whether the company’s scope 3 emissions target is aligned with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Invasive species
The company has not identified any activities that could lead to the introduction of invasive alien species (IAS) in its own operations.
