Developing a responsible business framework

Previous

Reach, one of Britain’s biggest newspaper groups, needed a materiality assessment to form the foundation for the development of their responsible business framework and ensure consensus around what matters most. 

Reach, one of Britain’s biggest newspaper groups, needed a materiality assessment to form the foundation for the development of their responsible business framework and ensure consensus around what matters most. 




The process 

The process included:

• A desk research stage identifying issues based on key Internal sources, regulatory requirements, peer disclosures as well as Industry and Universal factors.

• Media scanning

• A survey covering Board and C-suite, suppliers and investors.

• Independent inductive interviews with a range of internal and external stakeholders including Board members and investors.

• A final scoring phase which included a number of group feedback sessions, including with the Board, culminating in final adjustments to the hierarchy of material issues.

• The development of a reporting framework, grouping material issues under four pillars to form the basis for monitoring, management and sustainability communication going forward.
