To govern the identified risk and negative value chain impact from using virgin materials, we have adopted a ‘Resource management policy’, covering all of our activities and locations. The policy’s objective is to ensure that we minimise the use and depletion of virgin resources by developing circular value chains together with our suppliers, where feasible, and guide our efforts on sustainable sourcing. It further addresses our adherence to the waste hierarchy, prioritising waste avoidance by reducing and reusing before recycling.

We are committed to continuously improving our practices to mitigate any potential negative impacts related to our use of biomass. All biomass sourced for our CHP plants must comply with our internal 'Sustainable forest biomass policy'. This policy mandates sourcing of certified biomass under internationally recognised schemes, such as SBP, FSC, or PEFC, ensuring the origination from well-managed production forests with an ongoing reforestation effort and adherence to sustainability standards through independent audits.
