Materiality and material issues
In line with our purpose and sustainability strategy, we take an integrated and comprehensive approach to materiality, working to understand the material impacts of our business on the external environment and our stakeholders, as well as the impacts of the external environment on the current and future financial sustainability of the business.
Every year, we conduct a comprehensive double-materiality assessment, supported by an independent third party, that considers our impacts, risks and opportunities.
