We are pleased to share the results of our 2024 Materiality Assessment. To determine where our business has the greatest impact on drivers of value and sustainability, we regularly conduct a materiality assessment which identifies the themes that are most important to our stakeholders and are significant to our business success. This is our most comprehensive to date. With over 200 responses identifying 35 materiality themes across 7 stakeholder groups, feedback revealed: 🧍🏻Almost one quarter are most concerned about our Nature-based Solutions impact area, aligning with our core business managing forestry assets and landscapes. 🌳 Managed forest health ranks as the second most important theme with both impact and financial materiality. 🏞️ Land conversion ranks as the third most relevant theme for impact and financial materiality. 🌍 Human rights and labour rights are top themes for stakeholders in Africa and Asia. As sustainability becomes more deeply embedded in risk management and business strategy, these results help us to enhance stakeholder engagement, inform resource allocation and influence reporting to create a sustainable future.
