Indicator 2.2.2

by Contact on 8 October 2026

Requirement

The UoC shall ensure that the site has a low risk of negative impact on critical habitats, as determined through the ERA (see Indicator 2.1.1).

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • The Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) will determine whether there are critical habitats within the vicinity of the site and the risk drivers that increase the likelihood of negative impacts on any critical habitats.

Evidence of Implementation

  • An ERA report has been completed, which assesses the risk of negative impacts on any relevant critical habitats.

  • The ERA report demonstrates whether the risk of negative impacts on critical habitats is ‘low’.

  • In cases where the risk level is not ‘low’, the ERA report identifies the risk drivers.

  • In cases where the risk level is ‘medium’ or ‘high’, the site demonstrates the actions taken to reduce the risk level to ‘low’.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • Whether there are critical habitats in the vicinity of the site. If so, evidence has been provided in the ERA that the risk of negative impacts on the critical habitats is minimal.
