Prioritizing Issues at the Heart of Strategy
When a company invests in environmental and social issues in its operating context that can most affect its unique purpose, strategy, and capabilities it can more effectively contribute to a better future for all. This is at the heart of assessing the materiality—the quality of being relevant or significant—of the issues in which companies invest.
As AstraZeneca demonstrates through its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), companies can use a materiality assessment to understand how issues fit into their overall operations, purpose, and aspirations.
