Assessment of importance

The consolidated issues were measured across two axes: society and the COLOWIDE Group, and their importance was evaluated.

We determined materialities based on issues assessed during Board deliberations. The identified materialities will be reviewed periodically to reflect changes in social conditions and strategies, ensuring effective initiatives.
