CAHYA MATA SARAWAK SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2015

16 CAHYA MATA SARAWAK SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2015 Materiality mapping In 2015, we conducted a materiality analysis to gain a better understanding of topics that are important to both CMS and to its stakeholders. Our aim was to prioritise the most important areas of sustainability for inclusion in this report. Material topics were defined as those which had a direct or indirect impact on our ability to create, preserve or erode Economic, Environmental and Societal value for CMS, its stakeholders and the community. As per the diagram, the topics that are most relevant to our stakeholders are plotted towards the top of the matrix; with those towards the right being the most important to CMS. The issues in the top right quadrant are material to both the stakeholders and to CMS and have been prioritised in this report. The Methodology We commissioned an external consultant to conduct a materiality survey at the end of 2015. Members of our Senior Management team completed the survey with their responses representing the views of CMS. In terms of our stakeholder groups, feedback from the representatives of the following groups was sought: • Shareholders • Community • Employees • Media • Customers • Suppliers and contractors Respondents were asked to indicate how important each criterion was on a scale of ‘very unimportant’ (1) to ‘very important’ (5). A 5-point Likert Symmetric Scale was chosen so respondents could specify their level of agreement with (3) being neutral. The survey was available online and completed by 249 respondents. A total of 155 survey responses were deemed complete and used for this research. Results Scores over 3 were considered medium; scores of 4 or more important. Our stakeholder scores ranged from 3.81 to 4.64 and CMS’ scores were between 3.25 and 5. As all issues were important to some degree, a scale from medium to highest was adopted. The materiality matrix is presented in the following diagram.
