Through compiling the Sustainability Report, we review the sustainability performance of DSD throughout the year, and elaborate on our efforts and commitment to stakeholders and the general public.
Reporting Scope and Boundary
GRI G4 Guidelines emphasise ‘materiality’ of the aspects, and encourage organisations to report the key information with which the stakeholders are most concerned. Since 2013-14, we have carried out relevant stakeholder engagement exercises when compiling our Sustainability Reports. We will invite stakeholder groups in stages, with reference to their characters, to explore their concerns about DSD’s work.[2] This year, we strengthened the ties with the following two stakeholder groups, and collected and analysed their views through focus group meetings and surveys.[3]
During the process, stakeholders were asked to evaluate the relative importance of various aspects regarding DSD’s sustainability issues and performance. After analysing the results from the stakeholder engagement exercise, the list of Material Aspects identified were submitted to DSD’s senior management and Taskforce on Sustainability Reporting for final review and endorsement.
