Materiality

Our Steering Committee, staff, contractors, community members, unions, suppliers, journalists, opinion leaders, authorities, unions, suppliers, guilds, and academic representatives carry out a materiality exercise every two years that identifies the most important issues pertaining to our management of the economy, operations, social issues, and the environment. This gives us a crucial tool for clearly and simply communicating our effort, the outcomes we've achieved, and the obstacles we still need to face.
