Analysis of materiality
The materiality matrix represents, in summary form, the most significant (“material”) aspects for the Ratti Group and its stakeholders.
The materiality matrix is the product of a structured process involving management and stakeholders which, after a detailed evaluation of the significance of a list of aspects of sustainability, has allowed the most important aspects to be identified and then reported.
The list of aspects to be evaluated was created in accordance with the provisions set out in Article 3, paragraph 2 of Legislative Decree 254/2016 and on the basis of all the aspects specified in the GRI Standards.
In accordance with the 2016 GRI Standard it was decided to consider as material those aspects that emerged as significant for Ratti or for its stakeholders.
The process of involving stakeholders was carried out in 2017 through the publication of the first DNF; in 2018 and 2019 the list of material aspects was analysed again
and slimmed down. The updating process involves the following phases:
- an examination of each material theme with the
relevant corporate representative;
- the creation of groupings of certain material aspects
viewed as similar;
- a search for appropriate names to give to selected
themes;
- approval of the new matrix by the CEO.
The material themes updated that relate to the five areas covered by Legislative Decree 254 are the following:
1 environmental themes: reduction of environmental impact, compliance with laws and regulations (from an environmental perspective) and responsible management of the supply chain (environmental evaluation of suppliers);
2. social themes: chemicals management, responsible management of the supply chain (social evaluation of suppliers), compliance with laws and regulations (from a socioeconomic perspective), procurement policy and financial relationship with suppliers, financial performance;
3. themes relating to personnel: health and safety at work, the wellbeing and development of employees, the safeguarding of diversity and equal opportunities;
4. respect for human rights: the safeguarding of rights in the workplace;
5. the fight against active and passive corruption: opposing corruption.
With regard to the last item1 the Ratti Group has suggested two new groupings with the goal of achieving simplification and effective communication. The initial
