Negative impacts are identified through corporate risk assessment aligning with COSO Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework 2017 (2017 COSO ERM). EGCO Group’s materiality assessment is conducted based on the principle of double materiality by taking in account the financial impact of key risks from enterprise risk management In addition, EGCO Group is currently in the process of integrating results from materiality assessment into the Company’s enterprise risk management process.
As part of the materiality assessment process, EGCO Group has identified 6 stakeholder groups including employees, shareholders, suppliers & business partners, customers, investors, and communities. Furthermore, to take into account the impacts of business operations on relevant stakeholder groups, including human rights impacts, EGCO Group conducts human rights risk assessment to identify vulnerable groups and individual rights across EGCO’s activities and business relationships. EGCO Group is in the process of revising its human rights risk assessment and is expected to be completed in 2023.
EGCO Group has commissioned a third-party expert to compile and analyze opinions on impacts related to material sustainability topics to ensure that the results are unbiased. The material topics are divided into 3 levels of significance as follows, High: Value Creation, Medium: Enabler, and Low: Foundation
