Material matters
Our material matters are topics that directly or indirectly impact our ability to create or preserve economic, environmental and social value for our organisation, our stakeholders and society at large. Therefore, material matters include risks that must be managed and opportunities that could be captured to enhance the viability of the business in the short, medium and long term.
How we determine materiality
A list of possible material matters was developed following a detailed materiality review, which considered internal and external research. This year we used a double materiality lens, prioritising our material matters in terms of their impact on our financial operational performance as well as their impact on society, communities and the environment.
