Download our Sustainability Strategy
We want our Building New Futures Sustainability Strategy to make a difference by being meaningful and relevant to our stakeholders, deliverable and, as a business that values data, fully measurable.
Following the evolution of our Building New Futures Sustainability Strategy in 2024, to validate and strengthen our approach, we undertook a double materiality assessment aligned to EFRAG guidance. A double materiality assessment assesses not just how sustainability topics impact our business, but also how our business impacts people, society and the environment.
Our double materiality assessment was conducted through a combination of stakeholder interviews and desktop research and has confirmed that our Building New Futures Sustainability Strategy is targeted at the area’s most important to our stakeholders and those that our business has the biggest impact on. Some areas, such as health, safety and wellbeing and cyber security, were not included in the scope of our assessment as they already have well established approaches in our business.
The results of our double materiality assessment confirm that the six focus areas of our Building New Futures Sustainability Strategy reflect the issues most important to our business and the areas where we have the biggest impact on people, society and the environment. It also identified areas of emerging risk and opportunity e.g. responsible water management in our operations and supply chain. These areas will shape the future development and delivery of our Sustainability Strategy.
