- Provide a detailed explanation of the process your organization employs to identify, assess, prioritize, and monitor potential and actual impacts on people and the environment. This should be informed by your due diligence process and include an account of how negative impacts are prioritized based on their relative severity and likelihood. Additionally, if applicable, describe how positive impacts are prioritized based on their relative scale, scope, and likelihood. Clarify how these processes determine which sustainability matters are deemed material for reporting purposes, referencing any qualitative or quantitative thresholds and other criteria as outlined in ESRS 1 section 3.4 on Impact Materiality.

Question Id: IRO-1_06
Impacts: As per ESRS 1 and the guidance from EFRAG, three parameters of 'scale', 'scope', and 'irremediable character' have been used in the scoring of the 'severity' of both actual and potential negative impacts: 1. When scoring 'scale', we assessed how great the impact is or could be on the environment or people. 2. When scoring 'scope', we assessed how widespread the impact is based on parameters, such as the percentage of sites, employees, or financial spend that the impact relates to. 3. When scoring 'irremediable character', we assessed how difficult it is to reverse the damage in terms of cost and time horizon. For actual negative impacts, these three dimensions were scored and weighted equally for 'severity'. For potential negative impacts, an additional parameter of 'likelihood' was scored. This 'likelihood' score was weighted 1:1 with the 'severity' score. However, for a human rights potential negative impact, 'severity' took precedence over 'likelihood' (3:1 weighting, respectively). This weighting was applied on all potential negative impacts in S1, S2, and S3 across all sub-topics. For actual positive impacts, 'scale' and 'scope' were scored and weighted equally for 'severity'. For potential positive impacts, 'likelihood' was also scored and weighted 1:1 with the 'severity' score, as it was for potential negative impacts.
