1. In Focus: Managing Sustainability

To holistically examine Sustainability topics related to our significant economic, environmental and social impacts or could substantially influence our Stakeholders’ views and decisions, we conducted a Materiality Analysis, which we used to determine the present Report’s content (following GRI’s 4 Report Content Principles) and the topics’ scope (boundaries), without any changes compared to the previous period (e.g. regarding Material Topics). The Materiality Analysis is structured around the Sustainability Framework’s Areas and sub-Areas, following the below stages:

Consideration of over 100 topics by reviewing current industry practices, future trends and relevant industry related analyses by international organizations

Analysis according to the significance of economic, social, and environmental impacts that our activities and operations either have or could have, in terms of likelihood and consequences

Consideration of expectations through relevant surveys conducted and indirect input from the departments which interact with each Stakeholder Group, as well as the GRI studies ‘Sustainability Topics for Sectors’ and ‘Defining What Matters’

Combination of Risk analysis and Stakeholders’ expectations to define the Material Topics that we should focus on. The Risk axis takes into consideration the results of the in-house ‘Sustainability Day’ in 2019, where directors and managers from all levels discussed about our sustainability performance and prioritized related topics. The Stakeholder axis takes into consideration views identified during the latest engagement events, which were prior to 2020 due to the pandemic.

The Materiality Analysis was approved by the Vice President & Managing Director and the CSR & Community Relations Director, who also approved the present Report. Through this Analysis, we have identified the following Material Topics for 2020, while all Topics that were not deemed Material are not represented schematically due to the number of Topics addressed.

We aim to manage Sustainability in a systematic way and have categorized our activities in 5 Areas and 21 sub-Areas, which compose the Sustainability Framework we use to operate responsibly in each Area and sub-Area, as well as enable better focus and formulation of concrete processes. The Framework is also used to structure our present Report, which describes our philosophy, strategy and initiatives.

The Framework is aligned to our own policies, as well as Eldorado Gold’s Sustainability Integrated Management System (SIMS), which emphasizes sustainability, responsibility and accountability at all organizational levels, and addresses Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety, Security, Social Performance and General Management of sustainability topics.
