We have been publishing our annual Sustainability Report for 16 straight years. For this year’s report, we took a big step forward by adopting Integrated Reporting guidelines and external assurance, so the data we are publishing is more transparent and reliable. The report shows the work of our operations and subsidiaries for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2021.
We use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards methodology, “Core” reporting option, which confers relevance, transparency and comparability for our data. We also follow some principles from Value Reporting Foundation’s Integrated Reporting framework focusing synthesis and connection between performance and added value in the short, medium and long term, including financial capital as well as intellectual, human, manufactured, natural and social and relationship capital. We also consider the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) materiality map for financial aspects, which is seen as more assertive in relation to capital-market stakeholders’ requirements.
Although we do not have a policy for submitting reports to external verification, we are following the Integrated Report guidelines to arrange assurance from a duly qualified independent external firm capable of issuing an objective opinion or impartial conclusion on the report. Their services were engaged with our IR vice-president’s approval.
The financial data submitted here follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and have been audited by Deloitte. Our social-environmental performance indicators were calculated and validated internally but not submitted to external assurance.
The report has been posted on our website. For more details of this publication, please contact our Investor Relations unit:
