Our reporting is based on the AA1000 AccountAbility Principles Standard (APS 2008):
- inclusivity: identification of the stakeholders and their expectations, and development of involvement strategies aimed at improving the Company's sustainability performance;
- materiality: identification of the important issues for the organisation and its stakeholders;
- responsiveness: a description of the initiatives carried out by the Company to meet the expectations of stakeholders.
The Telecom Italia Report's compliance with the AA1000 standard is verified by the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (see Independent Auditors' Report).
In accordance with the principle of materiality, we have chosen a number of topics (see Hot Topics), positioning them in the "materiality matrix" shown below, which is based on the impact each topic has on the expectations of stakeholders and the Group's activities.
