Kern der Offenlegung
E4-5 reports performance against material biodiversity and ecosystems change-related impacts, risks and opportunities.
The disclosure separates location information for material impacts, risks or opportunities under paragraph 19 from metrics for material impacts under paragraph 20. Risks and opportunities must not disappear from the location assessment even though paragraph 20 metrics focus on impacts.
Metrics are selected to represent the undertaking's material effects on biodiversity and ecosystems and are reported with the methodology, boundary, assumptions, comparatives and context required by GDR-M.
