Materiality
CDF emphasizes on stakeholders' expectations by incorporating issues they consider important into CDF’s goal of business sustainability. Before compiling the CSR report, we have identified the top 8 stakeholder groups and collected related issues of economic, environmental, social, and governance of which our stakeholders may concern about and their impacts on the company's sustainable management. We have constructed corporate strategies, business objectives and annual plans based on the material issues and presented in the CSR Report.
Stakeholder Identification
CDF regularly reviews the focus of stakeholders every year to prepare ESG Report and the sustainable development plan. In 2021, we invited members of WG under the Sustainability Committee, senior executives and specific external stakeholders, to analyze the trend of international sustainable development according to the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000SES), with the five principles of Responsibility, Influence, Tension, Diverse perspectives, and Dependency, and refer to domestic and foreign leaders in the industry. After discussion by the participating members, the Board approved 8 major stakeholders. The term “invester” was amended to “investee” in order to accurately express the Company’s attention to the investee’s concern.
