Materiality matrix

The materiality analysis was carried out in accordance with the spirit and the process of a sustainability approach. That is to say through dialogue with our internal and external stakeholders.

This matrix aims at prioritising the main challenges of the Group, with regard to its short- and long-term ambitions and the expectations of its main stakeholders. In total, more than 30 individual interviews were conducted, prepared beforehand by a questionnaire to be completed by the people interviewed, in order to analyse the context of the Group’s activity, current or suggested sustainability best practices, as well as the risks, opportunities and challenges.
