Our 'Global Human rights policy' includes specific provisions to respect Indigenous land rights, cultures, and traditional practices, and it commits us to engaging with Indigenous communities early in the planning process of our renewable energy projects, ensuring their input is considered and incorporated into project design and implementation. This includes honoring the principles of FPIC as fundamental to our engagement strategy.

All affected communities likely to be materially impacted by our operations and throughout our value chain are included in the scope of our disclosures. This includes not only impacts directly connected to our own operations but also those throughout our value chain, including our business relationships. We have identified two key groups that are subject to our material impacts: Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Indigenous Peoples are affected by our own operations, such as wind or solar farm development, and throughout our value chain, where we may work with suppliers operating on or near Indigenous lands. They are particularly vulnerable and face heightened risks of harm due to their cultural heritage and traditional land rights. Local communities can also be impacted negatively by living near extraction sites for minerals and metals used in renewable energy infrastructure, such as rare earth elements for wind turbines and solar panels.
