Standardized Work Instruction:
To ensure data reliability and international-standard consistency, the Group has established a formal work instruction (WI) for the survey and documentation of bird and bat carcasses.
This WI sets out clear protocols for the discovery, photographic documentation, and reporting of bird and bat carcasses, enabling the development of a database and trend analysis to continuously improve control and prevention measures. This rigorous approach enables the Group to manage biodiversity risks transparently and ensures that operational decisions are supported by scientific evidence.
