Nor does it disclose any assessment of dependencies on nature of its upstream business relationships.
Key areas and species
The company discloses the locations that are in or adjacent to areas important for biodiversity within its own operations. However, it 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. Finally, the company does not 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. The company does not disclose a commitment to minimise ecosystem conversion or activities to minimise ecosystem conversion. However, it is committed to restoring ecosystems and discloses 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 disclose its inputs, including its material footprint, nor does it 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. While it has set a target for operations in baseline water stress regions, no evidence could be found that the company has a group-wide, time-bound target to reduce water withdrawal across all its own operations and reports progress against the target. The company reports how much water is withdrawn for its own operations in water-stressed areas but does not engage with suppliers to reduce water withdrawal.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 does not report a decrease in water pollution, nor does it disclose its processes for managing and monitoring discharge water quality. It does not regularly report on water pollution and does not disclose targets to reduce water pollution.
Solid and air pollution
The company is reducing the production of hazardous waste but is not reducing plastic use and waste in its own operations. It 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 these emissions and reports progress against the target. However, the target is not aligned with a 1.5-degree trajectory. The company is also reducing its scope 3 emissions. Although it has a time-bound reduction target for its scope 3 emissions, it does not report progress against the target. In addition, the company’s scope 3 emissions target is not aligned with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Invasive species
No evidence was found that the company identifies the activities that could lead to the introduction of invasive species in its own operations. Nor was evidence found that the company identifies the activities that could lead to the introduction of invasive species in its value chain.
