Lion Sustainability Report 2020 4 The issues that matter – Materiality

In January 2021 we held a materiality workshop facilitated by external providers to review our material topics. The materiality review engaged a broad range of internal stakeholders to determine which environmental, social and governance topics were most likely to affect the success of our business, now and in the future.

Starting with the existing material Our top nine material topics as defined topics from our previous sustainability by this process are: safety, health and External report, we overlayed key drivers wellbeing; supporting our communities; consultation for change including sustainability diversity and inclusion; packaging megatrends, the changing regulatory waste; climate change; water security In FY20 we undertook research to environment and shifts in both capital and quality; responsible consumption; understand consumer insights to markets and societal expectations along sustainable procurement and human climate change and sustainability. with the changes to our own business rights; and transparent labelling. This has enabled us to understand model. We also benchmarked existing the external context and changes in These material topics align with the material topics against customers consumer behaviour. As we prepare for sustainability pillars in our sustainability and competitors to verify any new or our next GRI report we will continue to strategy on page 6. emerging trends. engage with our internal and external The following tool can be used stakeholders to seek feedback and input.
