Materiality Assessment
In 2018, we conducted a materiality assessment to identify and understand the importance of
ESG issues to our stakeholders and our company. The process included identification of internal
and external stakeholders, benchmarking of competitors/peers, analysis of reporting
frameworks, and an internal survey of functions that interact regularly with external stakeholders.
In 2020, we revisited the materiality assessment results to validate the continued relevance of
topics and refine the assessment based on organizational priorities, awareness of stakeholder needs, and macro-environmental drivers.
