Stakeholders involved
Summary
In 2019, La Molisana launched a stakeholder engagement process based on questionnaires sent to a representative sample of its stakeholders, who were asked to express their expectations, focusing on key social, environmental, and governance issues. The results of this activity provided a clear understanding of the concept of sustainability for La Molisana’s stakeholders and were cross-referenced with the company’s operations. This tool represents a valuable opportunity to create a two-way dialogue: listening to our stakeholders and allowing them to experience firsthand the reality and the local area in which the company operates.
The materiality matrix
Non-financial reporting focuses on material topics, i.e., the most significant issues in terms of positive or negative impacts of La Molisana’s activities on the economic, environmental, and social fabric in which it operates. Specifically, the topic analysis was conducted considering both the strategic aspects for the company and those of its stakeholders. An international methodological approach was adopted, in line with industry best practices and the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, while the Accountability 1000 – Stakeholder Engagement Standard 2015 was used as a reference process. The results of the materiality analysis conducted in 2020 are graphically represented in the Materiality Matrix, which, for each material topic, shows the relevance for La Molisana on the x-axis and the relevance for its stakeholders on the y-axis.
