On the Protected Planet website managed by the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), we confirm the proximity of our main business bases to areas where biodiversity needs special attention.
We have confirmed the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories of protected areas lying within a 10-km radius of each of our main business bases, as detailed below and determined that none of these areas are designated a Strict Nature Reserve or Wilderness Area (Ia, Ib).
To avoid impacting biodiversity through its business activities, the Group complies with the strict emission standards set by national and municipal governments and strives to avoid causing environmental pollution.
