Our material issues
Material issues have the potential to affect, both positively and negatively, the delivery of
strategy and the Group’s ability to create value in the short, medium and long term.
Managing material issues
We manage material issues by identifying, prioritising, responding and reporting on them:
We
determined
our material issues in 2016 by considering factors that
received the most management and board attention in the year – the
central themes of our quarterly reporting meetings that were attended
by the chief executives of our 22 operations. These took into account
the key stakeholder issues as well as the Group’s top risks.
These key stakeholder issues and risks formed the basis of discussion
at workshops in which representatives from key departments
participated; they
prioritised
the Group’s material issues. These
were then endorsed by the executive committee and the board.
We
responded
to them by evaluating their impact and by putting in
place appropriate management actions to mitigate those with the
potential to disrupt value creation, as well as management interventions
to capitalise on those factors that offered opportunity for greater value
creation. We give details of our responses throughout the integrated
report using the icon.
