The focus areas of our sustainability strategy, and the environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets we set are informed by our materiality assessment. This ensures we address the sustainability‑related topics, risks and opportunities that matter most to our stakeholders and have the greatest impact on Ventia.
Our last comprehensive materiality assessment was completed in 2020 through in‑depth third‑party interviews. In 2025, we conducted a targeted refresh to maintain alignment with evolving stakeholder expectations, updated regulatory requirements and key voluntary ESG frameworks.
This refresh helps ensure our strategy, reporting suite and enterprise planning continue to reflect the most relevant ESG issues for our people, customers, investors, and the communities we serve.
