Materiality analysis

Materiality analysis represents an important means of identifying the main sustainability issues to be addressed, thanks to integration of the external stakeholders and corporate strategies.

In 2022, the Banca Ifis Group revised the process for updating the materiality analysis in accordance with the provisions of the Global Reporting Initiative with GRI Standard 3 ” Material Topics “, i.e. according to a process which requires the identification of the material issues to be included in the Non-Financial Statement on the basis of the impacts generated on the economy, society and the surrounding environment through the Group’s business activities (i.e. impact materiality).

The materiality analysis process was divided into 5 phases:

  1. Context analysis and identification of new issues and impacts;
  2. Engagement of external stakeholders;
  3. Involvement of management;
  4. Updating of the impacts according to records of engagement and in-depth analysis of the impacts generated;
  5. Definition of the materiality analysis.

This process has resulted in a vision which considers the association between the material issues and the most significant positive and negative impacts generated for each issue, as well as the contribution of the issue to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

* In order to ensure overall coherence of the results that emerged, the evaluations of the various issues were fine-tuned and reduced to 5 levels of impact generated, where: level 5 corresponds to “very high” evaluations, i.e. higher than 4.5; level 4 corresponds to “medium-high” evaluations, i.e. above 4.0; and level 3 corresponds to “medium-low” evaluations, i.e. higher than 3.5.
