For us, compliance with regulatory requirements and legal regulations is the top priority in our business activities related to biodiversity.
Transition plan and consideration of biodiversity and ecosystems in strategy and business model [E4-1]
Through the identification, evaluation and prioritization of the impacts, risks and opportunities of our business model along our value chain, we identified material matters related to biodiversity and ecosystems within the scope of our double materiality assessment. These are also related to the resilience of our strategy; an additional resilience analysis was therefore not conducted in 2025.
Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model [E4.SBM-3]
We operate in a heavily regulated environment that requires compliance with laws and regulatory requirements. In our double materiality assessment, we did not identify any material impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems and endangered species with regard to our sites’ normal operations.
Exceeding the legal safety limits when using our products as part of the downstream value chain can contribute to soil degradation and the reduction of flora and fauna biodiversity on agricultural land. This potentially negative impact was assigned to the land degradation sustainability matter. We strive to avoid negative environmental impacts as best as possible through our actions to manage impacts in connection with soil degradation and the reduction of biodiversity.
