Material issues include the economic, environmental and social risks that could affect our reputation and ability to create value over the short, medium and long term.
At Coca‑Cola HBC Romania, we aim to understand and address the issues with the highest impact to our business and our communities. We are always looking to improve our approach to identifying the most important of these risks and impacts, and report on our approach and progress against material issues transparently.
The materiality process provides insights to our business strategy and makes sure that our sustainability reporting is relevant.
To identify the key issues for our business, we monitor external trends and how these affect our ability to grow our business sustainably over time.
We prioritise these issues based on their relative importance to our business and to society at large, mapping the most important ones annually in our materiality matrix.
Our systematic materiality assessment process helps us prioritise the issues in line with the Global Reporting Initiative G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

To ensure good governance, the Social Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Steering Committee, which consists of key subject matter experts and decision makers, regularly review our priorities in light of changing issues and expectations.
We review our material issues annually to make sure that we always reflect new insights from the business and our stakeholders.
