We believe in creating a workplace that is safe, healthy, and inclusive for all employees.

Materiality and Stakeholders Engagement

To establish a solid foundation for our sustainability strategy, we conducted a materiality assessment to identify the topics that are significant to our stakeholders in terms of their environmental, social, and corporate governance.

The materiality assessment is a valuable tool for the Company’s management and is key input for our business strategy. The insights gathered during the execution of this exercise provided the basis of our ESG goals, establishing our commitments, prioritizing our current efforts, and monitoring our progress in material issues.

As part of this assessment, we carried out a stakeholder engagement to validate our material issues and guide our commitment to maintain a consistent level of reporting to ensure our ESG performance is shared with our stakeholders.
