101 Biodiversity
101-6-c For each site where its activities lead or could lead to pollution, report the quantity and the type of each pollutant generated;
ESRS E2 E2-4 28a Each pollutant listed in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 64 ) (European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register “E-PRTR Regulation”)emitted to air, water and soil, with the exception of emissions of GHGs which are disclosed in accordance with ESRS E1 Climate Change ( 65 )
ESRS E2 E2-4 AR 21. The volume of pollutants shall be presented in appropriate mass units, for example tonnes or kilogrammes.
ESRS E2 E2-4 AR 22. The information required under this Disclosure Requirement shall be provided at the level of the reporting undertaking. However, the undertaking may disclose additional breakdown including information at site level or a breakdown of its emissions by type of source, by sector or by geographical area.
