Through our double materiality assessment (DMA), we have identified material biodiversity-related impacts and an opportunity in our business, both in our own operations and in our value chain. Identifying and assessing these impacts help us to understand how we can continue to strengthen resilience across our operations, which we also assess using the methodology of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).

To understand and manage our impacts, we follow the mitigation hierarchy. This means we aim to avoid harmful action at the outset of an activity, minimise impacts, and take restorative measures where impacts cannot be avoided. We also compensate for any residual adverse impacts that cannot be restored – while recognising that certain environmental features are irreplaceable and therefore cannot be compensated.
