Waste assesses how a company prevents, diverts and treats all residual streams - from general refuse to hazardous and e-waste - through the waste-management hierarchy:
- Hierarchy application: prioritisation of waste prevention, reuse, recycling, energy recovery and safe disposal.
- Stream-specific management: tailored programmes for general solid/liquid, hazardous, electronic, food and construction wastes with certified vendors.
- Circular-loop integration: linking waste outputs back into secondary-material markets or internal reuse processes (industrial symbiosis).
- Performance metrics: absolute and intensity targets for waste reduction and diversion, disclosed via GRI 306, ESRS E5 and SDG 12.
