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.

We have also completed the first two of the five steps of SBTN’s methodology to better understand how to prioritise our efforts in managing our impacts on nature, including biodiversity. The steps are based on locating impacts on nature, including biodiversity, across our upstream value chain and on locating direct impacts.
