STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND MATERIALITY
Understanding stakeholder expectations and capturing feedback for our corporate responsibility initiatives is one of the most important elements in developing our strategy. Through our stakeholder engagement and ESG materiality processes, Sands China has identified a core set of material topics that form the foundation of our corporate responsibility platform. These key issues are mapped to our corporate responsibility pillars of People, Community and Planet and guide development of our programmatic strategies. Within each pillar, we have designated an overarching ambition to drive action and create positive impact.
Our approach to materiality
Our most recent materiality matrix is available in our 2021 ESG Report (pages 56).
