  Awareness
  
  Yes
  
  1/1
  
  "Casino Group recognises that native forests and vegetation provide important ecosystem services, meaning they contribute to maintaining life. They provide habitats for half of all known plant and animal species and livelihoods for millions of people in rural and traditional communities. In addition, forests play a fundamental role in regulating the planet’s climate and guaranteeing the water supply (i.e., distributing rain that feeds rivers). They are also an important carbon reservoir. Massive deforestation and the large-scale transformation of native vegetation into pasture increase greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to triggering extreme weather events that destabilise ecosystems, threatening the survival of traditional and indigenous peoples and impacting economic activities. Aware of the potential impact of these raw materials in the supply chain, Casino Group and its subsidiaries implement policies and concrete action plans to control and mitigate the risk of these raw materials being linked to deforestation or illegal conversion of land."
