Boliden’s process for integrating and implementing significant sustainability topics into its business strategy is described in four steps:
1. Identify Sustainability topics
2. Prioritize significant topics to be part of the strategy input
3. Implement systematic sustainability work
4. Report, follow up and improve.
Boliden has an internal process designed to annually review its sustainability topics in response to its overall results, changing business requirements, changing stakeholder expectations, implementation of the SDGs, technological and scientific progress, etc. The process includes cross-disciplinary discussions and impact analysis where multiple internal experts participate. During the materiality assessment, significant sustainability topics are defined and given as an input to the Group strategy process. The significant topics are validated by Group management and the Board of Directors through the Strategy Plan and then integrated into the strategy work. The Business Areas develop activities and plans to achieve the Group’s goals.
