      Does the company recognise the risk as financial, operational, competition, reputational, or other? Please detail.: Reputational, operational
      "For example, deforestation in critical forests around the world is primarily driven by cattle-ranching, an important source of leather, whereas cotton production accounts for 16 per cent of the world’s insecticide use, an underlining factor in global pollinator decline. Association with these types of negative impacts can generate reputational risk, but may also contribute to operational issues, such as security of supply over the mid and long term."

          "The certification that Kering recommends is from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). An important feature of certification is that it can provide traceability of the raw material. Having confidence in the traceability of Kering’s raw materials and therefore the ability to verify sustainability of the material is critical for Kering. FSC certification is in line with Kering’s commitment to sustainable management and also avoids the most destructive forestry practices: illegal logging, natural forest conversion to other land uses, liquidation of high conservation value forests, civil rights violations, and genetic modification of forest species."
