We engaged The Biodiversity Consultancy to perform a screening of biodiversity-related risks across our portfolio of operations. Their location-based risk assessment provided a standardized approach to achieve this, using existing global datasets, and indicated which operations warrant deeper-dive assessments. The output from this approach is not only useful for internal management of risks but will support Hydro’s efforts to align with the increasing disclosure requirements within the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

All you need to get going
This is a full-coverage and rapid assessment across your corporate supply chain and direct operations, as applicable. There is no more effective way to swiftly yet comprehensively assess where you align with existing frameworks and what you will need to disclose. At the same time, we will identify your priority areas for further action and lay the groundwork for your full strategy, so your next steps are clear.
As biodiversity experts, The Biodiversity Consultancy understands what is at stake for the world and what is at stake for us as a business. They’re really good at striking the right balance and very pragmatic from a business perspective. They’re helping us push our nature work as something important internally.
