How does the company track the effectiveness of its biodiversity and ecosystems-related policies and actions through defined targets, in accordance with the mandatory content defined in ESRS 2 MDR-T?

When describing your targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems, ensure that the description follows the mandatory content defined in ESRS 2 MDR-T Tracking effectiveness of policies and actions through targets. Include the following details: Target Definition: Clearly define the specific targets your company has set to improve biodiversity and ecosystem outcomes. These targets may include goals such as increasing the area of protected or restored habitats, improving species populations, reducing impacts on biodiversity-sensitive areas, or enhancing ecosystem services. Measurability: Specify how the targets will be measured. Include relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) or metrics (e.g., hectares of restored land, percentage reduction in environmental impact, biodiversity indices). Ensure that the indicators are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Timeframe: Indicate the timeframe for achieving each target (e.g., short-term: 1-3 years, medium-term: 3-5 years, long-term: 5+ years). Provide clear milestones where applicable. Responsibility and Accountability: Identify the departments or teams responsible for achieving the targets (e.g., sustainability team, environmental management team, operational departments). Mention any roles or individuals directly accountable for monitoring and ensuring the achievement of biodiversity and ecosystem-related targets. Monitoring and Reporting: Describe how progress towards the targets will be monitored and reported. This could include regular reporting intervals, reviews, audits, and the use of third-party verification where applicable. Adjustments and Updates: Explain the process for adjusting or updating targets in response to changing conditions, new scientific data, or evolving environmental or regulatory requirements. Ensure your description of targets is comprehensive, includes the necessary details for tracking progress, and aligns with your company’s overall biodiversity and ecosystem protection strategy.
