If the company has concluded that it directly contributes to the introduction of invasive alien species, whether accidental or voluntary, what metrics does it use to manage the pathways of introduction and spread, and how does it address the risks posed by these species?

If your company has concluded that it directly contributes to the accidental or voluntary introduction of invasive alien species, you may disclose the following metrics used to manage the pathways of introduction and spread of invasive alien species, as well as the risks they pose: Pathways of Introduction and Spread: Disclose the metrics your company uses to monitor and manage the pathways through which invasive species are introduced or spread (e.g., through trade, transportation, or construction activities). This could include measures such as tracking the movement of goods, inspecting import/export activities, or identifying activities that contribute to the spread of these species (e.g., ballast water from ships, soil movement). Risk Assessment of Invasive Alien Species: Report on the risks posed by invasive alien species, including their impact on local biodiversity, ecosystems, and economies. Metrics might include: The number of invasive species identified in your operational areas or supply chains. Area or percentage of land affected by invasive species. Assessment of ecological impact, such as reduced native species populations, habitat degradation, or altered ecosystem functions. Management and Mitigation Measures: Describe how your company manages the risks associated with invasive species, including any preventive actions (e.g., cleaning equipment, controlling species spread) or mitigation efforts (e.g., removal or containment of invasive species). Include any partnerships or regulations that guide your actions, such as compliance with local or international biodiversity laws. Ensure that your disclosure is clear and provides meaningful metrics on how invasive species are being managed within your operations and value chain, as well as the effectiveness of these measures in reducing their impact on biodiversity and ecosystems. https://xbrl.efrag.org/e-esrs/esrs-set1-2023.html#1765
