Priority topics for our stakeholders
The engagement of stakeholders in the double relevance assessment is consistent with the practice suggested by international Due Diligence instruments referred to in the CSRD (Corporate Social Responsibility Directive). This involves seeking input and feedback on impacts on people and the environment. It also helps to validate the importance of sustainability topics from the point of view of stakeholder groups. For the purpose of assessing the relevance of impacts, in addition to Iren’s managers, 56 stakeholders representing the eight main categories identified were involved through an online questionnaire.
