Our approach to managing our negative impacts on affected communities and our processes for identifying what is needed and appropriate to respond to these impacts help us to avoid, mitigate, and remedy negative impacts while creating lasting positive impacts for these communities.

To effectively remediate material negative impacts, including those that may affect Indigenous rights or disrupt local livelihoods within our value chain or operations, we engage directly with impacted communities, listen to their concerns, and provide appropriate remedies to support their well-being and resilience. We continuously work to strengthen our processes for providing or contributing to appropriate remediation to affected communities where we have identified that we have caused or contributed to a negative impact.

We align our policies with relevant internationally recognised guidelines and standards relevant to Indigenous Peoples and other local stakeholders. For more information about the alignment of our policies with international standards, please see ESRS ‘S2 Workers in the value chain’ on page 140.
