04 Sustainability Statement Biodiversity and ecosystems (E4) The current and potential impacts of Michelin’s operations on biodiversity are presented in the following chart: Land use change Pressions (according to IPBES) Current and potential impacts Resources overexploitation (Water use) Climate Change (CO2 emissions) Air, water and soil pollution Invasive species • Deforestation • Biodiversity loss • Habitat loss • Depletion of water resources • Increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere • Increased concentration of atmospheric pollutants • Water and soil pollution • Eutrophication • Biodiversity loss • Habitats loss EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HAVE SUCH AN IMPACT • Unsustainable rubber farming • From mining other raw material production • Artificialization and sealing of soils • Fragmentation of natural areas • Biomass energy use • Artificialization and sealing of soils • Fragmentation of natural areas • Vehicle fuel consumption induced by tires • Product transport • Landfilling and poor management of end-of-life tires • Release of tire and road particles due to abrasion from contact with the road • Transport • Water withdrawal and consumption for manufacturing • Fossil energy use • Use of chemicals • Atmospheric emissions • Wastewater discharges • Waste generated • Water consumption in natural rubber transformation sites • Nursery irrigation • Fossil raw material production, transformation and transport • Biomass raw material production and transport • Use of pesticides, fertilizers and other chemical products to produce natural rubber • Use of chemicals • Wastewater discharges from natural rubber processing sites • Introduction of invasive species Natural rubber and other raw material production Logistics warehouses, distribution, transport, produce use and end-of-life Industrial plants Value chain Very high Impact Materiality High Medium-high Medium-low Low Upstream Direct Operations Downstream Direct Operations (Natural Rubber Production) Source: Internal analyses and SBTN Steps 1&2 tests results. 241 2024 UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT_MICHELIN
