REMUNERATION REPORT
DATA AND ASSURANCE / ADMINISTRATION
A full assessment was undertaken in the year under review, in line with
our commitment to do so every three to four years, with reviews taking
place annually. During this process, identified matters are assessed using a
materiality assessment matrix and with reference to the six capitals.
MATERIAL MATTERS
ISSUES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO CREATE VALUE
ACTIONS
APPROACH
We follow the double
materiality approach, which
considers both the internal
and external perspective
when determining our
Material Matters. As part of
this process, we also take into
account events that occurred
during the year, as well as the
views of our stakeholders.
Material Matters have the
potential to impact the
delivery of the business
strategy, either positively
or negatively, and therefore
influence our ability to create
and preserve value over time.
