In order to focus A.S. Création's sustainability activities on the right issues, we regularly conduct a materiality analysis. We examine two dimensions in this process:
1. Our direct impact on the environment and people through our business activities (materiality of impact)
2. Finanzielle Risiken und Chancen, die sich aus Nachhaltigkeitsthemen ergeben und sich von außen auf das Unternehmen einwirken (Finanzielle Wesentlichkeit).
We also assess potential sustainability issues from two perspectives. From an internal perspective, we focus in particular on the financial materiality of sustainability issues. Our stakeholders (customers, shareholders, analysts, banks, suppliers) are also particularly valuable for assessing the materiality of impacts. We use questionnaires to ask them for their opinions on important sustainability issues. Combining both perspectives ensures that we do not overlook any issues that we might miss through our ‘operational blinders’.
The results of our latest analysis from 2024 are shown in the materiality matrix below. The leading letters E (environment), S (social) and G (governance) indicate the respective allocation to the topics. Detailed information on the topics listed can be found in the following sections of this website.
The topics in the lower left quadrant are not essential for us, but they show that we have identified impacts, opportunities or risks. Even though they are not the focus of our actions, we take targeted measures and develop appropriate strategies for them.
