Questions and Objective Statements

Materiality

Always understanding what’s important to each of our stakeholders is fundamental to our understanding of what’s new, what’s around the corner, and what we need to do to satisfy all expectations better than our competitors:

  • What have we learned from our recent materiality assessments?
  • Have we detected any new trends, risks, or opportunities?
  • Are we acting on what we are learning?
  • Is the data we’re gathering reliable?

Capitals @ Risk

The growth in intangible assets attributable to total enterprise value means that company health and prospects are no longer determined through the financial lens alone. In addition, Single and Double materiality require that companies distinguish between Impact (Environmental & Societal) Materiality and Financial. We will therefore develop taxonomies and thereafter tag and monitor impacts across capitals in a reliable and coherent way. We need to:

  • Review our industry perspective on: Integrated capitals (Finance, Natural, Manufactured, Social & Relationship, IP, Human) a cornerstone of Integrated Reporting’ <IR> developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council which is now part of the IFRS Value Reporting Foundation, and The Capitals Coalition,
  • Determine our position,
  • Develop an approach to the capital impacts and the nature of those impacts,
  • Their influence on performance over the longer term.
