The sustainability statements cover our upstream and downstream value chain as the related impacts, risks, and opportunities have been identified and assessed in our DMA. Selected policies, actions, and targets extend to our value chain, where relevant.

Our 'Stakeholder engagement policy' underscores our commitment to actively listen to and engage with our stakeholders. Through ongoing dialogue, we gain insight into their positions, concerns, and expectations. The insights gained from these dialogues inform our due diligence processes and double materiality assessment. This allows us to align our sustainability priorities, projects, and processes with the interests and views of our stakeholders. Guided by principles of openness, transparency, and integrity, our Stakeholder engagement policy adheres to international norms and codes, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the IFC Performance Standards on Social & Environmental Sustainability. We ensure that the views and interests of affected stakeholders regarding our sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities are regularly communicated to the relevant accountable person in the Group Executive Team through periodic meetings.
