Ecosystem conversion and restoration
The company does not have a commitment to minimize or ensure ecosystem conversion. It lacks transparency regarding its activities to minimize ecosystem conversion; while it does disclose some efforts to address conversion, these actions do not necessarily align with DCF standards. Additionally, the company does not set specific targets for achieving conversion-free supply chains within a specific timeframe. Restoration of ecosystems is also not a priority for the company, as there is no commitment to this aspect. Lastly, the company does not provide information about the details and outcomes of ecosystem restoration projects in areas affected by its own operations or 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 1,2 and 3 emissions and its targets need to align with a 1.5-degree trajectory.
Impact and dependencies assessment
The company aims to mitigate its environmental impact through sustainable procurement and has committed to reducing the negative effects of packaging and palm oil procurement on forests.

It also has not disclosed assessments regarding its dependencies on nature within these areas.
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

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 has an opportunity to disclose quantitative evidence related to plastic use reduction and the uptake of sustainable packaging, including information on the amount of plastic waste it generates or the percentage that is properly disposed of. Additionally, it could start reporting on the emissions of harmful air pollutants and outline specific, time-bound targets for reducing air pollutants throughout its value chain.
Water
The company has an opportunity to further improve water withdrawal by setting a time-bound target and engaging with suppliers. It has an opportunity to improve on its disclosure on water pollution by disclosing water pollutant metrics and setting time-bound targets to reduce them. The company does not disclose relevant information on rights to water in its operations or supply chains.
