BIODIVERSITY RISK 4.3.3.4 Risk description

Policies and procedures Plastic Omnium is a member of Act4Nature. This initiative was launched by the French association of companies for the environment (EpE) and numerous partners in 2018. It aims to mobilize companies on the issue of their direct and indirect impacts, their dependencies and their possibilities of action in favor of nature. The aim is to address these issues with concrete and solid achievements. This initiative asks companies to help protect biodiversity, which is mainly affected by five factors: changes in land use, climate change, invasive species, overexploitation and pollution. In 2022, Plastic Omnium plans to implement an approach to measure its impact on biodiversity. This mapping will make it possible to confirm and prioritize the actions to be implemented according to the locations and activities of the sites. The aim is also to better take into account biodiversity when carrying out new projects. Performance Once this approach is in place, the Group will be able to assess and monitor its impact on biodiversity using a specific indicator. The number of projects to improve this impact will also be monitored and published.

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of living species (micro-organisms, plants, animals) present in an environment, as well as the ecosystems in which they live. This term also includes interactions between species and their environment. This risk represents the fact that, through its industrial and economic activities, but also through the global warming it could cause, a company may contribute to impacting other living species or their ecosystems. Companies can act in two ways to preserve biodiversity: either in terms of dependence (for example by limiting the use of natural resources), or in terms of impact (for example by limiting the company’s footprint on ecosystems). Positions developed on the subject of biodiversity are still relatively rare, while the issues are closely linked to those of climate change, and the expectations of governments (regulations, development of the bioeconomy, etc.), investors and public opinion are increasing.
