Defining the more important topics of the report

In presenting its activities in the Sustainable Development Report, Viru Keemia Grupp strives to cover issues that are of interest to its stakeholders.

In disclosing information in the report, the obligations of the enterprise, including those stipulated in international documents (e.g. the UN Global Compact guidelines) have been taken into account.

In choosing the more important topics and the relevant indicators for the report, we analyse:

  • the effect of the activities on the economy and the social and natural environment as well as the results of monitoring its extent and nature;
  • the content of cooperation with stakeholders and their requests for information;
  • Estonian and international studies on the practices of sustainable development management in the industry sector and reports published in that area.

The following was analysed in assessing the cooperation between the Group and the stakeholders and in identifying the topics important for them:

  • the recommendations of the GRI standards;
  • the results of the monitoring of the notices published about the Group in mass media.

As a result of that, we prepared a list of important topics for the report and selected the topics of the highest importance.
