STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND MATERIALITY

We actively communicate sustainability practices and gather feedback from our stakeholders to be incorporated into our sustainability strategy. Stakeholder engagement is conducted in multiple areas of the Company through learning sessions and conversations with key audiences, decision-makers and partners. These avenues provide a mechanism for ongoing learning, dialogue and due diligence with respect to Company strategy, governance, programs and new developments.

Our approach to materiality

As part of our annual materiality review, we collected and evaluated stakeholder feedback from investor meetings and team member surveys, reviewed relevant external research and framework development, and performed a peer assessment. Findings validated the materiality matrix published in our 2023 report; therefore, our material topics remained the same in 2024. In 2025, we will reach the end of our 2021–2025 reporting cycle. As defined in our materiality process, a comprehensive assessment is planned to reevaluate material topics, define our corporate responsibility platform and set our strategy for the 2026-2030 reporting cycle. For more details, please refer to pages 52-53 of the 2024 ESG Report.
