In late 2020, we conducted a robust materiality assessment to build on the one we conducted in 2017 to identify and prioritize our material sustainability topics, engage key stakeholders and inform our sustainability strategies, reporting and communications. The assessment was led by a third party and conducted in accordance with industry best practices for material topic identification and stakeholder engagement. We analyzed a wide range of sources to determine and reaffirm potential material topics, including internal documents, in-depth interviews with customers, peer sustainability reports and more. We also conducted interviews and surveys with Greif leadership and external stakeholders, consolidating with the findings from our source review to prioritize our most material topics.

Through the materiality assessment process, we prioritized 17 material issues based on their importance to internal and external stakeholders, adding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as a new material topic. We incorporated the assessment results into our sustainability strategy and significantly increased our focus on climate and circularity. The results were reviewed and validated with Greif’s leadership during a third-party-led validation workshop.
