(C15.6) Have you published information about your organization’s response to biodiversity-related issues for this reporting year in places other than in your CDP response? If so, please attach the publication(s).
Change from last year
New question
Rationale
Investors want to understand how biodiversity issues, as a non-financial metric, have been integrated into mainstream financial reports. They will look to see how it is considered as part of business performance, where this is communicated, and whether these communications are in line with best practice. Your response to this question aligns with requirements of “Stage 4: Implementation” in IUCN’s Guidelines for planning and monitoring corporate biodiversity performance, which recommends that companies share the data that they collect.

Requested content
General
- This question asks about communication of your position on biodiversity outside of your CDP response. Even where the relevant information is web-based, you must produce a static document to attach, due to the need to maintain a fixed response over time that can be accessed in full at any time in the future; a URL is inherently dynamic and therefore cannot fulfill this requirement.
Explanation of terms
- Biodiversity performance: The measurement of success of an organization's interventions towards the mitigation of their negative biodiversity impacts.
Additional information
- For information on collecting, sharing and analyzing biodiversity performance data, see IUCN’s Guideline for planning and monitoring corporate biodiversity performance.
