The Process
To ensure we conduct comprehensive research for our products, we took up a detailed Materiality Assessment exercise, which helped us identify that are relevant for our internal and external stakeholders
Materiality Assessment
A sustainability strategy that is not adaptive and accountable 50 to our stakeholders will not stand the test of time.
The key material issues were also mapped to the UN'S SDGs (some issues relate to two SDGs). These focus areas have set the direction of our strategy to achieve goals and create value 54 for our stakeholders.
