Materiality
The materiality process aims at helping companies identify priority sustainability topics, considering the internal and external stakeholders’ perception. In addition to being used for strategic plans, it is essential for communication aligned with the company's most relevant sustainability topics.
Attentive to the needs and expectations of its stakeholders, WEG applies its materiality process every two years.
