Focusing on issues that matter

MATERIAL MATTERS

Our material matters are issues that have the potential to impact, both positively and negatively, our ability to create value in the short-, medium and long-term. These are identified through a process of analysing the business environment, our operating context, the capitals we rely on, as well as feedback from our stakeholders and subsidiary business units. Managing our material matters effectively could support or hinder our ability to execute our strategy and remain competitive. Thus, our approach to strategic decision making continually encompasses these matters’ potential impact on our operations. We also use them to measure our success by incorporating them in tracking our performance.
