The company mentions that it has assessed its dependence on ecosystem services and the impact drivers from its business on nature, and it has used ENCORE to assess the level of materiality of each issue. The company has also conducted a biodiversity risk screening for 351 sites in Thailand. The company has not provided details about which specific sites or regions are located in areas with high and medium water stress from a water quality perspective.

The company discloses the BOD and Nitrogen quantities discharged and disaggregates this by Thailand and overseas regions. The company used to disclose this information by country. The company does not disclose this data for water discharged in priority water bodies specifically. The company mentions one case of non-compliance with wastewater regulation.

The company mentions its dependencies and impacts on water quality and pollution. The company also links this to its management relating to water quality. The company mentions that the biodiversity risk screening it conducted for 351 of its sites revealed that one swine farm, covering 117 hectares in Chiang Mai, posed a biodiversity risk due to its proximity to key biodiversity areas. However, the company does not explicitly mention how nutrient pollution impacts this area.

The company states that it undertakes a risk mapping of direct operations to identify potential water-related risks in the specific area covering water scarcity and water pollution. The company has conducted an assessment using ENCORE to assess the materiality of each risk. In the impacts drivers on nature section, the company mentions that pollution has a "medium" risk impact for its raw agricultural sourcing and "very low" risk for its feed business.
