If there is a separate fund to meet the obligations of the benefit plan, indicate:
what percentage of the obligations is estimated to cover assets that have been reserved for this purpose;
what is the calculation based on; and when was the calculation made.

expects to reach it.

G4-EC4 Identify the total monetary value of financial assistance that the organisation has received from government authorities during the period covered by the report, with information concerning at least: relief and tax credits;
subsidies; investment aid, grants for research and development and other relevant types of grants; prize awards; royalty exemptions; exportation financial aid from credit agencies; financial incentives and other financial
benefits received or receivable from any government entity in connection with any transaction.
Breakdown of the above information by country.
Indicate if governments are part of the organisation's shareholding structure, and to what degree.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: MARKET PRESENCE
G4-EC5 Where the remuneration of a significant percentage of the workforce is based on the minimum wage rules, indicating the relationship between the initial wage by gender compared to local minimum wage in places
where significant operations are carried out.
Indicate if there is no local minimum wage somewhere with significant operations or if this is variable, by gender. If different minimum wages can be used as a reference, indicate which is being used.
Provide the definition used to establish "places with significant operations".
G4-EC6 Indicate what percentage of senior managers in places where significant operations are carried out come from the local community.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: INDIRECT FINANCIAL IMPACT
G4-EC7 Indicate to what extent significant investments have been made in infrastructures and the organisation's types of services.
Point out what impacts have taken place, or are expected to take place in the local communities and economies. Where appropriate, describe the positive and negative consequences.
Indicate whether such investments or such services are commercial, pro bono or in kind.
G4-EC8 Give examples of the significant financial impacts of the organisation, both positive and negative.
Describe the importance of such impacts from external references and priorities of stakeholders, such as standards, protocols and national and international political agendas.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: PROCUREMENT PRACTICES
G4-EC9 Indicate what percentage of the budget for acquisitions in areas with significant operations are intended for local suppliers (e.g., percentage of products and services purchased locally).
G4-EN ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

G4-EN2 Indicate what percentage of recycled materials was used to manufacture the main products and services of the organisation.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: POWER
G4-EN3 Indicate the total fuel consumption of non-renewable sources, in joules or multiples of joule, and specify the type of fuel.
Indicate the total fuel consumption of renewable sources, in joules or multiples of joule, and specify the type of fuel.
Give details, in joules, watt-hours or multiples of the following: electricity consumption; heating; refrigeration and steam.
Give details, in joules, watt-hours or multiples of the following: electricity, heating, refrigeration and steam sales.
G4-EN4 Indicate the energy consumption outside the organisation in joules or multiples of joule.
G4-EN5 Indicate energy intensity.
Explain what measurement (the denominator of the fraction) has the organisation used to calculate the ratio.
Indicate what types of energy are included in the intensity ratio: fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, steam or all of the above.
Explain if in the relationship one considers the internal energy, external energy or both.
G4-EN6 Indicate which energy consumption cuts are a direct result of initiatives for conservation and efficiency (in joules or multiples of joule).
Indicate what types of energy are included in the reductions - fuel, electricity, heating, cooling or steam.
G4-EN7 Indicate which cuts in the energy requirements of products and services sold have been achieved in the period covered by the report (in joules or multiples of joule).
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: WATER
G4-EN8 Indicate the total volume of water collection from the following sources: surface water, including water from wetlands, rivers, lakes and oceans; groundwater; rainwater collected and stored directly by the
organisation; wastewater from another organisation; and municipal water supplies or other water companies.
G4-EN9 Indicate the number of water sources that have been affected by collection and break them down by type: source size; if the water source is classified or not as a protected area (national or international); value in
terms of biodiversity (species diversity and endemism, number of protected species); and value or importance of the source of water for local communities and indigenous peoples.
G4-EN10 Indicate the total volume of water that the organisation has recycled or reused, in terms of percentage of total collected water in accordance with the G4-EN8 Indicator.
MANAGEMENT APPROACH: BIODIVERSITY
G4-EN11 Provide the following information for operational sites owned, leased, managed, which are adjacent, contain or are located in protected areas and unprotected areas of high biodiversity value: geographic location;
subsoil or subsurface soils owned, leased or managed by the organisation; location in relation to the protected area (inside, adjacent to or including sections of the protected area) or unprotected area of great value for
biodiversity; type of operation (office, manufacturing or production, mining); size of operational site in km2 and biodiversity value based on:
the attribute of the protected area or the area of high biodiversity value outside the protected area (terrestrial, freshwater or marine water ecosystems); and
lists of area protection (for example, UICN67 management categories of protected areas, Ramsar78 Convention, national laws).
G4-EN12 Describe the nature of the direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity, referring to at least one of the following: construction or utilization of factories, mines and transport infrastructures; pollution (introduction of
substances that do not occur naturally in the habitat from specific and diffuse sources); introduction of invasive species, pests and pathogens; reduction of the number of species; habitat conversion; changes in
ecological processes outside the natural range of variation (e.g., salinity or changes in groundwater levels).
Indicate the direct and indirect, positive and negative significant impacts, referring to the following aspects: affected species; surface of the affected areas; impact duration; and reversible or irreversible nature of those
impacts.
