Feedback from our stakeholders helps us develop a more coherent, inclusive and consistent sustainability strategy. By building consensus in areas of common interest, we can form effective partnerships that support sustainable solutions at both the global and local levels.
Our sustainability strategy is based on a deep understanding of the material issues that affect our business and the people who rely on our work.
Taking into account the stakeholders' needs, every two years the material issues are evaluated and reviewed and the priorities for the upcoming period are set.

Linking our material issues to the most relevant of the UN SDGs helps us manage them in line with international best practices.
