Materiality

At Grupo Argos we play the role of active strategic architect, leading and accompanying the monitoring of the general sustainability model of the Business Group, with a broad vision of trends and risks, and promoting the setting of goals and objectives in our strategic businesses and portfolio investments.

Our Materiality Analysis is the roadmap that reflects Grupo Argos’s most important environmental, social and governance (ESG) focal points. It allows us to adapt to changes in our surroundings, market dynamics, and stakeholder expectations.

The prioritization process that allowed us to define our material topics includes five steps:

    1

    Identification of topics to prioritize

    2

    Stakeholder identification for consultation

    3

    Internal and external consultations

    4

    Priorization

    5

    Validation

Value drivers

When updating our Materiality Analysis, we restated our previous nine material topics as six value drivers.

* we will perform a new materiality analysis for Grupo Argos S.A. in 2022 in line with our asset management strategy.

The end result allows visualizing the relevance of each of these drivers, and the way in which we manage them, our progress, and any associated challenges and opportunities.
