This year, the company’s ten factories in India have undergone a comprehensive biodiversity-based risk assessment, utilising the LEAP approach under the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) guidelines.

These assessments were aimed at identifying potential business risks and opportunities related to biodiversity and have considered impacts on marine life and terrestrial flora and fauna.

From these assessments, Huhtamaki has pinpointed three focus sites requiring concentrated efforts to mitigate potential biodiversity impacts.

These sites will undergo further opportunity mapping and the creation of site-specific biodiversity risk mitigation plans.
