The main impacts generated by our value chain in terms of environmental pollution are mostly associated with the management of greenhouse gas emissions, the consumption of materials in our operations – namely in packaging production – and the food waste potentially generated by our food production and retail activities. Our actions in this area are detailed in “Climate Change” and “Resource Use and Circular Economy”.
We acknowledge that there are additional impacts related to water resource management and biodiversity, both within our own operations and across the wider supply chain. Although these topics have been identified as non‑material, we detail the policies, actions and commitments we have adopted in these areas in “Water and Marine Resources” and “Biodiversity and Ecosystems”.
