The materiality determination process included a review of global research, peer reports and other external information (including media reports), and internal resources including stakeholder reports, board packs, risk registers and strategy plans, followed by interviews with key internal stakeholders. All matters that could impact Discovery’s ability to deliver on its core purpose were identified. To prioritise matters, we considered their actual or potential effect on value creation and evaluated the magnitude of the effect along with the probability and likelihood of occurrence. The prioritised matters were then analysed and validated by the Group Executive Committee and the Board.
