We have not identified any material dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems, although soil stability at our sites constitutes the most significant dependency. Regarding our transitional and physical risks, we have mapped out our exposure and have not found significant risks from biodiversity and ecosystems that are not already covered in our mitigation processes and biodiversity action plans. Additionally, we have not identified any systemic risks to our business model that are not addressed through our established practices or the implementation of measures to reach our biodiversity ambition.

For several of our biodiversity pilot projects, we engage with local communities in our biodiversity- and ecosystems-related actions. This was for example the case with our Humber Estuary restoration project in the UK, which we completed in collaboration with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust.
