Our Sustainability Aproach
In 2023, we began a double materiality assessment in accordance with the requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). During 2024, the assessment results will be reviewed and refined based on emerging practices.
The results of the double materiality assessment are planned to be published at the beginning of 2025.
To systematically identify and categorize these stakeholders, we use the Mendelow matrix – a reliable stakeholder identification system. This matrix is a tool that allows us to categorize stakeholders based on key criteria – their level of power and level of interest.
