Materiality

Identifying and prioritising important matters

As we engage with our stakeholders, we identify and prioritise important concerns and matters that emerge from the interactions. These material matters form the basis of our strategy formulation process and we measure their progress through specific key performance indicators. As part of our peer review process, we have compared and aligned our material issues with those identified by global and Indian peers.
