Transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy is fundamental to solving the biodiversity crisis, as climate change is a main driver of biodiversity loss. The space required for the renewable energy transition is significant, and, with a nature in crisis, it is vital that we make sure our energy projects benefit nature. In 2024, we continued taking action to deliver on our ambition to achieve a net-positive biodiversity impact from all new renewable energy projects from 2030.

Material IRO description:
- Natural resources exploitation and land-use and freshwater-use change from mining. Negative impact (upstream value chain).
- Ecotoxicity from mining. Negative impact (upstream value chain).
- Land-use and sea-use change from coal and gas extraction. Negative impact (upstream value chain).
How do we manage the IRO?
- We have completed a mapping to help us understand potential negative impacts on biodiversity that we may have in our value chain. We continue to explore ways to identify and mitigate impacts across our value chain, including our first attempt at mapping impacts from high impact commodities (HICs) in our upstream value chain.
