      voestalpine uses its ongoing communications with internal and external stakeholder groups to identify those topics that are key to CR Management and the relevant reporting.

      Prior to the preparation of the annual CR Report, the members of the Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee draw up a list of the topics considered most important by the stakeholder groups. The list is supplemented by those topics that have been identified in connection with the company’s work in relevant bodies as well as through analyses of trade publications and benchmark analyses of select competitors, suppliers, and customers.

      A subsequent step involves assigning a materiality rating to all those topics that have or could potentially have positive or negative effects on voestalpine’s business activities. Information on voestalpine’s management approach, performance, and goals with respect to all material topics is published in the CR Report.

      The following topics were identified as central to the present CR Report:
