IBERSOL • 2023 Integrated Management Report

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 2023 Environmental risks Impacto ambiental The Ibersol Group’s risk environmental risk and impact management rests largely on the implementation and certification of management systems, such as norm ISO 14001, which ensures an adequate control in terms of environmental protection, waste management, and pol- lution prevention, always based on the fulfilment of applicable legal and sectoral requirements, as well as the needs of all stakeholders. In particular, the main flows of packaging materials are monitored, and all obligations regarding reporting to authorities licensed to manage and promote the selection, collection, and recycling of packages in the Portuguese and Spanish markets are fulfilled. Climate change The phenomenon of climate change is systemic, and has led to a number of serious consequences in global food value chains. On one hand, the increase in average temperatures, due to greenhouse gas emissions is causing increasingly serious and frequent droughts, ris- ing sea levels in coastal regions and significant loss of natural eco- systems and biodiversity, as well as varied disruptions to agricultural production and distribution in several markets. This instability leads to scarcity, price volatility, and disruptive events at the level of global supply chains. If, on one hand, the Ibersol Group is committed to doing its part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, on the other it keeps a close eye on the most affected commodities and constantly ponders the best supply strategies, both for itself and with its global and local partners, so as to guarantee the continuity of its activities Extreme events The increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme natural phenomena, which are directly or indirectly linked to environmental and climate events, is one of Ibersol Group’s major concerns, insofar as these events jeopardise personal safety and the integrity of installations and equipment, thereby threatening the continuity of activity.
