How material issues were established G4-Process for defining report content G4-Material issues identified G4-Key topics raised by stakeholders

During 2013, we undertook a comprehensive stakeholder consultation exercise in conjunction with external specialists IMS Consulting, with the aim of establishing a list of material issues to help shape our sustainability reporting.

Over 2,000 individuals were invited to participate in an online consultation, split evenly between internal (employees) and external stakeholders (clients, suppliers and others). Each was asked to assess the importance of relevant sustainability issues, in terms of how we conduct our business. The shortlist of sustainability issues relevant to the UK construction sector was compiled based on our roadmap, ongoing stakeholder feedback, industry-wide issues and third party guidance.

Responses were received from 724 individuals, and subsequent analysis revealed no significant differences between the view of internal and external stakeholders. The results of this process were used as the basis for drawing up a list of issues that are currently material to, and reported by, the Group.

The list was reviewed in 2014 and consolidated to six Total Commitments and 12 material issues.

Step 1 Identification

32 issues were identified that are potentially relevant for a large UK construction company:

• Advocacy and leadership• Biodiversity and habitats• Bribery and corruption• Business ethics• Climate change (policy and

strategy)• Community engagement • Corporate governance• Customer feedback and

satisfaction• Development and training of

employees• Diversity of employees• Economic and business

performance• Energy use • Engagement and satisfaction of

employees• Greenhouse gas emissions• Health and safety• Industry-wide skills• Innovation• Labour practices• Land management site remediation• Legal compliance • Materials and responsible sourcing• Opportunities for young people• Procurement and supplier

assessment • Recruitment and retention of

employees• Senior executive remuneration• Stakeholder engagement • Sustainable products • Taxes • Volunteering and charities• Waste • Water use • Wider benefits to local

communities

Step 2 Prioritisation

The views of 700 stakeholders were gathered through an online consultation including:

• 514 employees • 136 suppliers• 39 customers

Step 3 Validation

Analysis and internal review resulted in 18 material issues being identified for Morgan Sindall Group in 2013:

Advocacy and leadershipBribery and corruptionBusiness ethicsCommunity engagement Customer feedback and satisfactionDevelopment and trainingEconomic and business

performanceEnergy use and carbonEngagement and satisfaction of

employeesHealth and safety Inclusion and diversityLegal compliance Local economic growthMaterials and responsible sourcingRecruitment and retentionSustainable building and labellingWaste Water
