[Report Profile] [Reporting Scope and Boundary]

Reporting Scope and Boundary

The GRI Standards emphasises the importance of “materiality” of each topic under review, and encourages organisations to report on topics which pose greater impact on themselves and their stakeholders. To better distinguish these particular topics, we have been holding stakeholder engagement exercises each year since 2013-14 through inviting different groups of stakeholders in stages to explore their concerns about our work2. From April to June in 2017, we collected and analysed their views by means of focus group meetings and questionnaires3,4.

“Materiality” Assessment Process

The Report covers the Material Topics resulting from DSD's offices and facilities, and the operations of our major consultants and contractors that we have engaged8. DSD spares no effort in providing accurate data and information to the best of our knowledge, however, part of them had to be obtained from relevant parties that are beyond our direct remit.
