Overall, our 'Code of conduct for business partners' and policies on human rights and stakeholder engagement describe our approach to:
- respecting Indigenous Peoples, minorities, and other vulnerable groups in line with international law and standards as described in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including the principles of FPIC
- respecting land rights of legitimate tenure rights holders as set out in the UN Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests
- ensuring the safety and protection of defenders of human rights, the environment, or Indigenous Peoples
- mandating that our business partners take measures to protect environmental and human rights defenders and other interested parties who lawfully exercise their freedom of speech.
We engage in early and ongoing dialogue with local communities and Indigenous Peoples by hosting e.g. consultation sessions, attending community meetings, and conducting surveys. This approach helps us gather insights to better understand their external perspectives on our projects and the local impacts. We aim to build an approach based on transparent communication, co-creation of mitigation measures, and on ensuring that feedback is integrated into project planning and execution.

Question Id: S3-5_02
Currently, we have not set time-bound and outcome-oriented targets that meet the criteria for effectively reducing negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, or managing material risks and opportunities related to affected communities. However, we recognise the importance of establishing robust targets to drive meaningful progress in this area. We are working to establish a clear community engagement process that will involve engaging directly with the affected communities, their representatives, or credible proxies. In the meantime, we are focused on gathering data and assessing current practices to ensure that future targets are effective and aligned with stakeholder needs. We are not yet fully able to monitor how effectively our policies and actions address our material sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities for affected communities.
