OUR STAKEHOLDERS

Ongoing engagement with the main stakeholders is an important aspect of our sustainability approach. We use stakeholder feedback to
assess, identify and prioritise the most significant economic, social and environmental impacts of our business. Stakeholder feedback also
helps us to determine the sustainability issues to be covered in our sustainability report. Our stakeholder engagement is summarised below.
