Materiality is an important tool to identify key topics that are critical to our business performance and interests our stakeholders. Analysis of these material topics helps us define our strategic goals and ambitions, and thereby institute an effective sustainability framework. Our materiality processes are in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Guidance.
We conduct sectoral analysis, study industry peers, seek guidance from sustainability standards and frameworks, and based on our learning from previous experiences, we identify a comprehensive list of material topics. The identified material topics are then prioritised based on our engagements with key internal and external stakeholders; and through senior management interactions. A suitable action plan is then instituted along with mapping of strategic goals and targets. The performances against the set targets are monitored and the action plan is revisited as required.
