ESRS E4 – Biodiversity and Ecosystems

It goes without saying that protecting and preserving biodiversity and ecosystems is crucial to the well-being of our employees, our neighbors and our environment, and is part of our responsibility as a company. Biodiversity encompasses the full variety of lifeforms on Earth, including all plant, animal, fungal and microorganism species, as well as the ecosystems they collectively form. As a producer, we benefit from ecosystem services and their availability. In keeping with our corporate purpose, “Our solutions make a better world for generations”, we therefore see biodiversity as an integral component of our environmental management. We strive to minimize or completely avoid any potential adverse impacts on biodiversity by taking responsible measures.
