Materiality
The USS Group uses the concept of materiality to establish a number of key issues concerning the economic, social and environmental impact of business operations as well as the group's reputation among stakeholders and the demands of these stakeholders.
We use these issues as the basis for discussions with stakeholders and within the group in order to reexamine these key issues constantly. Based on items used by ESG evaluation institutions and other considerations, the following three materiality issues have been added following a discussion of this subject by the Board of Directors at the June 2020 shareholders meeting: Proper information management, corporate governance and environmental protection.
