A process-based materiality analysis is a key element of Deutsche Börse Group’s sustainability strategy: in particular, this means evaluating and analysing the needs and expectations of relevant internal and external stakeholders on an ongoing basis. The process serves to determine topics of particular importance to the company’s business activities or which have a significant impact on them. This, in turn, enables the Group to identify the opportunities and risks of its core business activities at an early stage and to translate them into concrete areas of entrepreneurial activity.
