Reduce water use and wastage, particularly in water-stressed areas
Restore and protect watersheds at the water catchment level across the supply chain by supporting or funding local initiatives and projects
Set a no conversion of natural ecosystems target within supply chains and obtain correct certifications from suppliers for agricultural inputs
Reduce upstream water use by engaging with suppliers and encouraging the adoption of more water-efficient processes, particularly in water-stressed areas
Carefully consider nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities when establishing new operations, taking water risks and proximity to areas of significant biodiversity value into account. Embed biodiversity and water risk assessment criteria into the decision-making process when selecting new sites or expansions and prioritize action according to conservation hierarchy in locations that meet the criteria
