PRESERVING BIODIVERSITY 3.2.3.3 Biodiversity is becoming a global concern. The five main change factors that cause biodiversity loss are changes in land use (human use of land for a specific purpose, such as ● transforming forest into agricultural land or physical modification to rivers, collection of water from rivers); climate change; ● invasive species (introduced species which propagate in habitats which ● are not their own by changing them); over-exploitation; ● pollution. ● reduce and offset the Company’s impacts while raising awareness, providing internal training and spreading information externally about the progress the Company has made. In 2018, Plastic Omnium decided to sign up to the Act4Nature initiative, which encourages companies to enter into 10 shared commitments, as well as individual commitments to protect biodiversity. The ten shared commitments involve creating a biodiversity strategy with stakeholders to The individual commitments entered into by Plastic Omnium are: to reduce CO 2 and atmospheric pollutant emissions from automotive ● transport: innovation and new product development helps to reduce greenhouse gas and nitrogen oxide emissions; effectively managing the sites’ environmental impact: The Top Planet ● program reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the sites, VOC incinerators ensure good air quality around the sites, processing of emissions into the land and water are avoided by effective site management (ISO 14001). Retention tanks are placed under the products to avoid any pollution. The sites cover 4,379,785 m 2 of which 18.7% is permeable, allowing rainwater to penetrate the soil; the fight against plastic pollution in the oceans: 88% of waste is ● recycled or recovered, and the sponsorship of the Race For Water vessel raises awareness and provides education on protecting the oceans; promoting local biodiversity initiatives by its sites: since 2010, Mexico’s ● Puebla site has been involved in a reforestation project for the Izta-Popo national park and the Flor del Bosque park in Puebla. METHODOLOGY 3.3 This statement of non-financial performance sets out the Plastic Omnium Group approach to corporate, social and environmental responsibility and the non-financial information to meet the requirements of Articles L. 225-102-1 and R. 225-105-1 to R. 225-105-3 of the French Commercial Code. The last section contains a cross-reference table with the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact of which Plastic Omnium has been a signatory since 2003, and with the indicators of the international benchmark, GRI Standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Compagnie Plastic Omnium, which is listed on Euronext Paris, is a company with industrial operations and plants. The CSR indicators are collected separately by the HSE/RSE Department and by the Human Resources Department at each site in the reporting scope, and are checked for consistency during the consolidation process. The Plastic Omnium Group’s corporate, social and environmental reporting approach is based on: the regulatory provisions related to Articles R. 225-105-1 to ● R. 225-105-3 of the French Commercial Code; the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact; ● the HSE policy integrated into the Company’s strategy and management. ● The information which must be published in accordance with law no. 2017-399 dated March 27, 2017 relating to due diligence by parent companies and subcontracting companies is presented in this declaration on non-financial performance. The topics required under Article R. 225-105-1 of the French Commercial Code – preventing food waste, ensuring food security, ensuring animal welfare and responsible, fair and sustainable nutrition, were not deemed to be relevant for the Plastic Omnium Group. This is because the Company’s activities are not linked to the production, marketing or distribution of food products. Sites that propose food services (canteens) to its employees contract out this service to a specialized service provider in charge of ensuring compliance with applicable laws. The Group’s Conditions of Supply require compliance with applicable laws, which enables Plastic Omnium to ensure that its service providers comply with these regulations. These issues are therefore not included in this chapter.
