Materiality analysis
In 2020, we updated our materiality analysis and matrix. We perfomed a complete evaluation of our industry and researched the main global trends and challenges in terms of sustainability. We prioritized issues based on their potential impact on Sigma and their relevance for the stakeholders.
The results of this analysis are represented on the “Relevance for the stakeholders” axis of our materiality matrix. Furthermore, we conducted an internal survey with employees in all our Organizational Units addressing the most strategic aspects of our Sustainability Strategy, including: Innovation, Packaging, Food Quality and Safety, Nutritional Information, Investor Relations, Food Donations, Health and Safety, Inclusion, Employee Development, Human Resources, Volunteering, Operations, Energy, and Procurement. The results of the analysis are represented on the “Impact on Sigma” axis of the materiality matrix.
