We conducted a materiality assessment to help us identify and prioritise the most significant sustainability issues that affect our business and stakeholders. But also, to develop a sound sustainability program. Engaging with a range of stakeholders allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of their expectations and concerns regarding our sustainability performance.
We evaluated the issues raised by the stakeholders based on their potential impact on our business and the environment. Through this evaluation, we identified the most material sustainability topics that require our attention and action. These topics are translated to relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and on the level of importance to our stakeholders and to the Faber Group itself.
Faber Development Goals
Our materiality assessment identified six SDGs that were most important. All six are considered in our sustainability strategy and program. To create additional focus, three (12, 13 and 17) of them form the basis of our ‘Peak program’. We embrace those goals as ‘Faber Development Goals’.
Continuous improvement
We recognise that our sustainability journey is ongoing and requires continuous improvement. Therefore, we will continue to engage with our stakeholders and review our materiality assessment regularly to ensure that we remain aligned with their expectations and address the most significant sustainability issues.
It is very important to me that future generations have the same resources and opportunities available to them as previous generations. Our Sustainability Program is already contributing to the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals across all the countries where we operate. A recent example is our EcoVadis Platinum Award.”
