Aligning strategy with our stakeholders
Ceres is at the forefront of the energy transition, accelerating the deployment of green energy technologies to global partners, thereby facilitating their shift towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. As the impacts of climate change intensify, markets aiming to decarbonise are rapidly transforming, addressing challenges such as energy limitations and the technical difficulties of decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. The dynamic business, social and natural environments in which Ceres operates necessitate the alignment of our operations and strategies with the expectations of stakeholders, including our partners. We focus on activities that are most material to our business and stakeholders as we advance clean energy solutions for a sustainable world.
Recently, we updated our materiality assessment. With anonymous input from a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders – including employees, current and potential investors, partners, and members of our supply chain – we identified 14 priority topics. We found strong alignment between internal and external stakeholders on the relative importance of these topics. Notably, recyclability, waste management and reduction was rated as a higher priority by external stakeholders, particularly our partners and suppliers. This was unsurprising given their direct operational implications. Accordingly, we had already allocated dedicated resources to address the recyclability of our products. In a rapidly evolving context, it was reassuring to see a high degree of consensus among stakeholders, reinforcing the relevance of our current sustainability strategy and roadmap.
We conduct materiality assessment every two years to ensure our strategy remains aligned with external expectations. As a clean energy company, we are committed to focusing on key topics that deliver the greatest value in our business activities. This enables Ceres to adapt to a changing environment and integrate stakeholder concerns into our strategy as needed.
