Since 1970, 69% of the world's vertebrate population has disappeared.

The current extinction pace is 10 to 100 time faster than any previous mass extinction.

OUR APPROACH ON

BIODIVERSITY

Environmental threats go beyond climate change and include plastic pollution, land use, and exotoxicity, all of which pose significant risks to ecosystems. To address this, we annually assess our impact on biodiversity using Caisse des Dépots Global Biodiversity Score. Additionally, we align our targets and action plans with IPBES recommendations to support a world of sustainable living conditions.

THE 5 MAIN PRESSURES IMPACTING BIODIVERSITY ACCORDING TO THE IPBES

1.

LAND USE

2.

EXPLOITATION OF FOOD, MINERAL AND ENERGY RESOURCES

3.

CLIMATE

CHANGE

4.

POLLUTION

5.

THE GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY SCORE:

MEASURING OUR IMPACT ON BIODIVERSITY

The Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) quantifies the impact of a company's activities on biodiversity.

A company's Global Biodiversity Score (GBS) is measured in MSA.km². An impact of 1 MSA.km² is equivalent to the destruction of a biodiversity-rich area of 1km² because of human activity.

A company's GBS is calculated across several dimensions:

Pressures and type of ecosystems: the GBS calculates the biodiversity impacts on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, taking into account five types of pressures: climate change, land use and land use change, ecotoxicity, hydrological disturbance and water eutrophication. The company's impact through invasive species is not taken into account, as there is no reliable date on this subject.

Time > Static Impact : represents the persistent impact on biodiversity caused by past impacts on biodiversity

Dynamic Impact : impacts occurring during the assessment period, usually over one year.

OUR global biodiversity

SCORE IN FY24

Between FY22 and FY24, we have significantly reduced all our impacts on the erosion of biodiversity. We estimate that about 75% of this reduction is linked to a decrease in the quantity of products sold, following the Group's strategic emphasis on marketing high value-added products.

DYNAMIC TERRESTRIAL

STATIC TERRESTRIAL

9,9 MSA.km²

= 21% 2nd arrondissement of Lyon

STATIC AQUATIC

Our

progress

Our target is to reduce our dynamic impact by 2027 and to reduce by 5% our static impact on biodiversity by 2027 accross all our scopes. In FY24, we have acted on two main levers to reduce these impacts:

Climate Change pressure: absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions coupled with a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per product (up to 19% vs. last year)

Land Use Pressure: we now mostly use recycled or FSC certified paper and cardboard in all our packaging, which has significantly reduced ou pressure on Land Use in FY24.
