The Group identified its macro-risks and CSR issues as part of its work to update its materiality matrix. The new matrix (see Section 2.1.3), which prioritises the 23 CSR issues categorised into 7 macro-risks, was approved by the members of the Executive Committee in September 2017. The identification of the CSR issues and macro-risks was conducted based on the business expertise of the Group’s network of CSR contributors, representing all activities. The result was confirmed by a review of issues reported by industry peers (including the Global Reporting Initiative) and a review of information in the media, then submitted for evaluation by the Group’s stakeholders by means of interviews conducted on a representative sample. As a result of this structured approach, we were able to list all of the factors justifying the materiality of each issue for the Group. Strategic CSR issues (see Materiality Matrix in Section 2.1.3). *

For each issue, the „ opportunities and threats were categorised into three categories (business, operational functioning and reputation) and their impact was quantified economically by the department concerned, degree of impact on long-term performance; „ the position of the issue on the y-axis represents the importance 2. to the stakeholders, taking into account the legitimacy of each stakeholder to express an opinion on each issue. The Group relied on an external third party to guarantee fair and rigorous rating of each of the issues according to a uniform methodology.
