Question Id: S3.SBM-3_03
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.
