We are convinced that to make a difference is to positively impact our environment, inheriting a desire for transformation and sense of responsibility for the next generations, as this is the greatest dividend we can receive from life. Thus, we are constantly striving for improvement and our strategy is to implement best practices in environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.
Materiality assessment
In 2020, to develop our ESG strategy, we conducted our first materiality assessment. With this, we can ensure that our strategy will have the greatest possible impact on our stakeholders. The objective of a materiality assessment is to define which are the material (or most important) issues for the organization and its stakeholders. In this way, we aim to optimize resources by executing strategies that generate the greatest benefit for all, as well as to recognize potential operational risks. Through this assessment, we identified 14 material topics.
For the first year of defining the ESG strategy, we decided to work on the first 6 material topics, starting from the most material to the least material. That is why our initial efforts focused on developing policies, performance indicators, and outlining targets for the following topics:
To date, we have contributed to the UN SDGs linked to the 6 material topics we have worked on. Likewise, we will map our contributions to the SDGs for any material topic included in our ESG strategy.
