Materiality

Materiality

Focusing on our material issues

As part of developing our sustainability strategy, Perpetual Group’s Prosperity Plan, we conducted a materiality assessment in 2022 to identify the sustainability issues most material to our business and stakeholders. Through interviews and focus groups, we asked stakeholders to identify the issues most important to them. These issues were quantitatively rated using surveys, mapped against Perpetual Group’s policies and strategy, and assessed using external frameworks including the UN-supported Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Global Reporting Initiative and CDP. The priority themes of the materiality assessment are described in the table below. 

Perpetual Group is preparing to conduct a new materiality process as we recognise that the footprint of our business is changing, notably due to the acquisition of Pendal in 2023.
