Materiality

In 2024, we reviewed our material matters by aligning them with industry peers and global sustainability reporting frameworks. Through a process of consolidation and regrouping, we streamlined our material matters from 17 to 13 key issues. As part of this refinement, Indirect Economic Impact was removed from the materiality matrix. Despite these changes, the priority of our top five Materiality Matrix remained unchanged.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)

Our Group Sustainability Framework, “Build Right. For Life,” is strategically aligned with the UN SDGs, specifically focusing on Goals 9, 11, and 13.

High Priority
