TRANSFORMING TRANSFORMING TRANSFORMING SUSTAINABILITY REPORT FY 2023 COMMUNITIES THE PLANET THE WORKPLACE STAGE 3: Biodiversity Management Plan Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP) is the supply of raw materials. Our primary developed for all our operations based on the upstream supply chain includes supply of findings of the technical biodiversity risk raw materials like coal, alumina to our assessment and provides detailed guidance processing operations. The main on the implementation of appropriate impact-based risk originating from mechanisms that can help to minimize impact. upstream operations includes loss, The biodiversity management procedures degradation or disturbance to wildlife focus on specific biodiversity topics relevant habitats due to procurement of material to the sector that the site falls under, and from Critical Habitats. provides direction on how evaluation and monitoring can be done across the project life As a mitigation measure, for procurement cycle, in conformance with milestones that of raw material from ecologically sensitive need to be achieved for NNL outcomes. areas, the Biodiversity Management Plans prepared for the sites include Risk management measures outlined in the recommendations to carry out due BMP are commensurate with the level of risk diligence assessment for entities in the identified during the Biodiversity Risk supply chain. One of the key criteria Screening Assessment. For sites that fall proposed in the assessment includes within 50kms of a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA), avoiding sources or transportation routes Protected Area (PA), the BMP provides that could disturb biodiversity sensitive recommendations on due diligence areas such as Protected Areas or Key assessment for supply chain entities and for Biodiversity Areas. This in addition to the sourcing of material from biodiversity rich requirement for partners in the supply areas. chain to have necessary clearances and permits including Environmental In addition to direct operational impacts, the clearance, Forest clearance, Wildlife BMP extends the risk screening process to clearance as applicable. identification of potential impacts from upstream operations, specifically in relation to 79
