Defining Report Content
102-46
In an effort to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided, the Company integrated the principles for the report’s generation and the quality assurance of disclosures recommended by the GRI Standards when preparing the Report.
| Stakeholder Inclusiveness | Company maintains an active dialogue with all stakeholders by systematically collecting feedback through online and offline channels. Both the results of regular stakeholder engagement activities and data from a specialised survey of various stakeholder groups to identify key topics were used when forming the content of the Report For more details on the procedure used to identify and rank key topics in order to generate the content of the Report, see the section Materiality Matrix. For more details on stakeholder engagement mechanisms, see the section Stakeholder Engagement. |
| Sustainability Context | The report demonstrates the attention that Metalloinvest pays to the organisation of scientific, technical, and innovative activities as well as the main goals and objectives of the Industry 4.0 business transformation programme and also highlights the start of the Company’s transition from implementing corporate social responsibility policies to sustainable business policies, including by updating the strategic plan and demonstrating the Company’s contribution to the achievement of the UN SDGs. For more details on the Company’s contribution to the achievement of the UN SDGs, see the section Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. |
| Materiality | The contents of the Report were determined in accordance with the key topics that were identified, which make it possible to disclose the Company’s comprehensive impact and meet the interests of all stakeholders. For more details on the key topics that were identified, see the section Materiality Matrix. |
| Completeness | The Report provides a scope of information that is sufficient to form an objective judgment of the impact the Company has had on the economy, environment, and society during the reporting period and does not intentionally exclude any information. |
| Balance | The Report equally discloses the positive and negative results of the Company’s activities without intentionally distorting the reader’s opinions. |
| Comparability | In addition to information for the reporting period (2018), the Report contains information about previous periods and demonstrates trends and dependencies. |
| Accuracy | The quantitative indicators cited in the Report are calculated using the GRI Standards methodology and are presented with no rounding or with minimal rounding. When using assumptions or deviations from the methodology, the Report provides the appropriate explanations. |
| Clarity | The report uses terminology that is understandable to a wide range of stakeholders and sufficient to form an objective judgment. The cross navigation used in the Report makes it easier to find all the relevant information in the general data set. |
| Reliability | In addition to internal checks and quality assurance, the Company externally verifies its non-financial indicators with the assistance of an independent auditor. To view the external auditor’s opinion, see the section Independent Auditor’s Report. |
| Timeliness | The Report includes information about the Company’s activities for 2018. |
