Materiality analysis The GRI-G4 Guidelines require the contents of the Sustainability Report to be defined on the basis of a materiality analysis. Sabaf, in compliance with the requirements of GRI-G4, launched as early as 2014, with the involvement of company management, a process of identification of the material (relevant) issues to be included in the Annual Report, i.e. those issues: - of significant economic, environmental or social impact for Sabaf’s business - that could substantially affect the assessments and decisions of the stakeholders. In line with this perspective, materiality considers not only the point of view of the organisation but also that of the stakeholders.
The issues were confirmed as those most significant also for 2016. It is noted that in defining the material issues, the following aspects are considered pre-conditions for operating and are therefore considered very significant both for Sabaf and for the stakeholders: a) creation and distribution of sustainable value b) a transparent and effective governance system to support the business c) constant attention to compliance with the law in the conduct of its activities
