Sustainability Report Stakeholder Groups Participating in the Survey Shareholders and Investors Employees Media Customers Vendors/ Suppliers Regulators and Authorities The survey asked stakeholder representatives to rate the importance they placed on 18 areas of sustainability. We asked respondents to indicate how important each criterion was on a scale of ‘very unimportant’ (1) to ‘very important’ (5). We employed a 5-point Likert Symmetric Scale so respondents could specify their level of agreement with (3) being neutral. We discovered a natural skew in the results as each stakeholder group was not represented equally. Unsurprisingly, we received the most responses from our employees and the fewest from Regulators & Authorities and Media. We calculated an average score for all areas within each stakeholder group to rectify the sample imbalance. An average rating from all eight stakeholder groups was then obtained. We also asked members of our Senior Leadership Team and Board to complete the survey. Their views represented Wasco. Materiality Matrix Scores over 3 were considered of medium importance. Stakeholder scores ranged from 4.06 to 4.74; Wasco’s between 3.69 and 4.77, indicating that all issues were material to some degree. A material to very material scale was adopted as even the lowest scores fell into the important category. The matrix is presented in the following diagram.
