Evaluation of material topics
To assess material topics that are of interest to society and have impact on our business, we annually update our materiality assessment, which is based on the double materiality approach as well as Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) requirements to determine material topics. This means we have taken an ‘outside-in’ view of sustainability matters that can affect our business, as well as an ‘inside-out’ view of where our actions influence the environment and society. Both positive and negative outcomes are included. Topics have been summarised into the overall sustainability topics for DHI to report on:
Environment
- Climate
- Energy conservation
- Water conservation
Social
- Diversity and inclusion
- Health, safety and well-being
- Development and retention
- Employee welfare and engagement
Governance (operational excellence within DHI)
- Client relationships
- Operational excellence
- Cyber security
