Materiality analysis and stakeholder dialogue

Stakeholder engagement

Eastnine’s sustainability efforts are based on essential questions developed in cooperation with the company’s stakeholders: tenants, staff, investors, creditors, society and suppliers. Eastnine strives toward creating routines for continual and effective dialogue with its stakeholders in order to ensure that the company stays focused on the most essential issues. This dialogue takes place through e.g. customer and staff surveys, meetings with investors and creditors, web surveys, workshops, and continual contact.

Materiality analysis

In 2018, a materiality analysis was conducted to identify the most important sustainability aspects of Eastnine’s operations, which the company is expected to provide reports on. The materiality analysis was carried out using surveys and opinions from staff, tenants, the largest shareholders, and Board members, and was compiled using relevant industry standards and reporting frameworks. including the report "UNEP Sustainability Metrics: Translation and Impact on Property Investment and Management". The results of this analysis, and the priority sustainability issues identified, have subsequently been validated by Eastnine's management.
