Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company provides some evidence of addressing conversion; however, this alone does not ensure adherence to DCF-aligned practices. Despite having a target to achieve conversion-free supply chains, this does not apply to all high-risk commodities. Furthermore, the company lacks a commitment to ensure zero conversion and does not engage in ecosystem restoration. Moreover, the company does not disclose details or outcomes of ecosystem restoration projects in regions affected by its operations or those of its suppliers.
GHG emissions
The company should reduce its scope 3 emissions and report progress against its scope 3 reduction targets. Additionally, the company’s scope 3 emissions targets need to align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.

Solid and air pollution

It has an opportunity to report on the amount of plastic waste generated and proportions directed from or to disposal. The company could also report on air quality parameters of emissions of harmful air pollutants and set time-bound targets to reduce air pollutants across the most material parts of its value chain.
