Interview representatives from key stakeholder groups including:
Complete an impact materiality assessment of key impacts outwards on society and the environment. Assess the impact of material topics on financial performance, both from a risk and opportunity perspective.
Create a stakeholder and ESG double materiality assessment for inclusion in reporting.
We have identified 18 material topics that are considered important both from a business and stakeholder perspective. The topics in the top right hand corner of the assessment are considered our top priority and we will continue to monitor these areas closely.
The ESG materiality assessment combined with our alignment to six of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) guides our 2030 ESG approach, targets, KPIs and reporting. We are aware that ESG materiality assessments need to be dynamic in order to reflect changes in the business and the external world. We will therefore continue to monitor any emerging topics that may require inclusion in our matrix in the future.
