Material Assessment

Addressing issues
that matter the most

Material issues have the potential to substantially impact our capacity to achieve our strategic objectives and create sustainable value for our Company in the short, medium, and long run. Through a systematic approach, we identify topics that are material to our business and stakeholders, ensuring that we do not miss any important factors. Regular materiality assessments enable us to take swift action on the identified concerns within the sector.

During FY 2021-22, we carried out an extensive materiality assessment to identify important issues to our business, mapping their potential impact on our operations. This helped us understand our stakeholders’ needs and aspirations, effectively translating the engagement into a long-term value-creation activity.
