[Report Profile] [Reporting Scope and Boundary]

Reporting Scope and Boundary

GRI G4 Guidelines emphasise the “materiality” of each aspect under review, and encourage organisations to report on aspects which have greater impact on themselves and their stakeholders. In order to identify these aspects, we have been holding stakeholder engagement exercises every year since 2013-14. We have invited various groups of stakeholders in stages to explore their concerns about our work[2]. This year, we strengthened the participation of two groups, “consultants” and “the general public”, and collected and analyzed their views through focus group meetings and surveys[3].

During this process, we invited stakeholders to rate DSD’s sustainability issues according to their level of concern, thereby arriving at a list of topics. Having collated all views, the material aspects derived were submitted to DSD’s senior management and the sustainability reporting team for final review and validation[5]

The material aspects and boundaries covered in the Report are tabulated below[6]:
