Kern van de disclosure
E4-2 reports policies adopted to manage material biodiversity and ecosystems impacts, risks or opportunities in accordance with GDR-P.
In addition to the general policy information, the disclosure addresses traceability, own-operation sites in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, sustainable land or agricultural practices, sustainable oceans or seas practices and deforestation where applicable.
A policy may cover only selected aspects of a topic. The disclosure reports the actual scope and exclusions rather than treating partial coverage as automatically deficient.
Dit educatieve materiaal van LRA ondersteunt het opstellen van de disclosure. Raadpleeg voor de exacte vereisten altijd de officiële European Commission-bron.
