Kern van de disclosure
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.

Hoe u dit voorbereidt
De gegevens opvragen
Request the disclosure evidence
Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.
Provide the material-location register, biodiversity-sensitive area mapping, impact-driver analysis, species and ecosystem metrics, primary and estimated data, monitoring records, boundary, methodology, assumptions and comparatives.
Use the organisation's own role and document names, but preserve the defined ESRS terms and the scope described above.
