Process for defining the reporting content
PGE Group’s integrated report responds to the information needs and expectations of almost 80 of PGE’s key stakeholder representatives, which were raised during dialogue sessions organised in mid-June 2022. You can read more about these dialogue panels HERE.
These were workshop-type meetings, conducted with the use of general forum discussions, subgroup discussions, individual work with the use of an online questionnaire, which fostered the involvement of the participants and provided an opportunity to put forward one’s own proposals of issues and exchange thoughts on the topics being discussed.
PGE stakeholders present at the meetings were asked to become acquainted with 39 aspects of the company’s operations, assigned to four areas: business, environment, employee and social.
As a result of this dialogue, PGE Group’s key stakeholders identified the eight topics most relevant to them that should be included in the 2021 Integrated Report. These topics have been incorporated into the report in line with the GRI standard. An appropriate indicator was assigned to each of them:
