KEY MATERIALITY ISSUES (G4-18, G4-20, G4-26)
The Group has assessed which sustainability issues, whether they are environmental, social or economic, are most significant to our
organisation and our stakeholders. We assessed materiality in 2013, based on AA1000 Accountability Principles (2008) of inclusivity,
materiality and responsiveness. A “materiality matrix” was used to chart the key issues of mutual concern to both external and
internal stakeholders.
Two workshops, facilitated by an independent sustainability expert, were conducted in 2013 so that global and local materiality
issues identified through peer reviews, questionnaires from international NGOs, and social impact assessments of our
operations locally, could be analysed and prioritised. Three IndoAgri executive directors as well as representatives from Indofood
management participated in the workshop held at our Jakarta headquarters, while senior operation managers were involved in the
Pekanbaru workshop.
A third workshop was held in March 2014 following the adoption of the new GRI G4 Core Guidelines to review the materiality
assessment and in particular address materiality across the value chain. It was concluded that the materiality chart developed in
2013 remained applicable, and that the key materiality issues are all relevant across the whole value chain, from seed breeding
through to the distribution of refined palm oil products to the consumer.
The next critical phase for IndoAgri will involve extending sustainability reporting beyond our own key operations, and the development
of programmes for our Crude Palm Oil Suppliers and local farmers to enhance the transparency and traceability of our palm oil
supply chain. This report focuses on our key materiality issues across our oil palm plantations, milling and refinery operations.
