We conduct an in-depth materiality assessment every four years, with a midpoint review every two years. In 2020, we conducted a materiality checkpoint, followed by a major update in 2022 to reassess the relevance of ESG matters to our key stakeholders.
The materiality assessment was conducted in alignment with the latest GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) 20211 . Our materiality assessment process is described as follows:
1
