Areas adjacent to new and/or existing operational sites that are an indirect result of company operations
Site-based supply of goods and services needed for company operations
Additional areas where there is downstream use of products and services
Ecosystems that overlap with and extend beyond where companies have influence from operations
Net Positive Impact Position Goal
Achieve NNL and avoid potentially significant impacts wherever possible; and take actions to deliver NPI
Implement mitigation to deliver NNL and take actions to deliver NPI related to impacts that have or may occur in the future
Predict and take account of additional indirect impacts adjacent to operational sites and deliver a NPI that takes account of these risks
Assess supply chain risks, exert influence and control, and collaborate to support suppliers to avoid impacts and deliver NPI
Support transformative positive outcomes through leadership
NPI approaches ensure NNL to ecosystem integrity and drive actions that reverse loss at a broad ecosystem scale
Level of Control & Influence
HighLow
Assess, mitigate, manage and measure outcomes at a local scale
Influence, transform and measure contributions in an ecosystem context
Halting Loss to Biodiversity
Deliver NNL and prioritise avoidance of measurable loss to ecosystem integrity
Implement mitigation to address existing or future loss to ecosystem integrity to achieve NNL. Prioritise avoidance of future impacts
Develop processes and procedures to manage loss of ecosystem integrity adjacent to direct operations and take actions to deliver NNL
Use influence, implement and support initiatives to ensure that upstream suppliers prioritise halting loss; and monitor outcomes
Reduce pressures that create biodiversity loss (e.g. promote circularity). Lead and inspire to encourage downstream stakeholders to halt loss
Ensure NNL from direct and indirect impacts without using offsets; and exert influence and control to halt broader losses within land- and seascapes
Position
Biodiversity-Positive Outcomes
Robustly apply the mitigation hierarchy and deliver proportionate NPI using off-site offset or ACAs
Where significant direct impacts on ecosystem integrity have occurred deliver proportionate offset actions off-site. Where significant impacts have not occurred use ACAs to deliver NPI
Take NPI approaches that take account of predicted and/or existing indirect impacts
Encourage, implement and support upstream suppliers to develop initiatives to deliver NPI across their operational activities; and monitor outcomes
Provide leadership to transition customers to use suppliers that deliver a NPI. Support initiatives that foster biodiversity positive outcomes downstream
Deliver NPI through ACAs using ecosystem-scale approaches that drive transformative measurable contributions towards reversing losses across land- and seascapes
