Mercer's Path to Sustainability: Understanding Through ESG Double

美世的可持续发展之路:通过 ESG Double 进行理解

Assessing the materiality of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics plays a crucial role in organizations' strategic planning and sustainable development. As a company that is aware of our business activities' role in society and the environment, we attach great importance to understanding the perspectives of our stakeholders and aligning our actions accordingly.

评估环境、社会和治理(ESG)主题的重要性在组织的战略规划和可持续发展中起着至关重要的作用。作为一家意识到我们的业务活动在社会和环境中的作用的公司,我们非常重视了解利益相关者的观点并相应地调整我们的行动。

What exactly is an ESG materiality assessment? It's a crucial step for organizations like ours to determine the sustainability topics that significantly impact our operations and our stakeholders. This strategic evaluation is instrumental in aligning our sustainability goals with broader societal and environmental objectives.

ESG 实质性评估到底是什么?对于像我们这样的组织来说,确定对我们的运营和利益相关者产生重大影响的可持续发展主题是至关重要的一步。这项战略评估有助于使我们的可持续发展目标与更广泛的社会和环境目标保持一致。

In 2022, through this assessment, we've pinpointed areas requiring immediate action and long-term strategy adjustments. But we don't stop identifying what matters to us internally; we embrace the concept of double materiality. This means we evaluate how sustainability issues affect our business and how our operations impact the world around us. It's a dual perspective that guides our actions toward business resilience and societal and environmental betterment.

在2022年,通过这项评估,我们确定了需要立即采取行动和调整长期战略的领域。但是,我们不会停止确定对我们内部重要的事情;我们拥护双重物质性的概念。这意味着我们会评估可持续发展问题如何影响我们的业务以及我们的运营如何影响我们周围的世界。这是一个双重视角,指导我们采取行动,实现业务弹性以及社会和环境改善。

Principles of materiality assessment:

重要性评估原则:

Mercer recognizes that economic activity not only influences financial results but can also significantly impact society and the environment. Therefore, identifying and assessing ESG issues is of central importance to us. We carry out a comprehensive materiality assessment every two years and an annual assessment to address our stakeholders' concerns continuously.

美世认识到,经济活动不仅会影响财务业绩,还可以对社会和环境产生重大影响。因此,识别和评估ESG问题对我们至关重要。我们每两年进行一次全面的重要性评估,并每年进行一次评估,以持续解决利益相关者的担忧。

Methodology of the materiality analysis:

实质性分析的方法:

In 2022, Mercer reviewed the results of the previous year's materiality analysis. The comprehensive data collection methodology included questionnaires, investor interviews, customer surveys, dialogue with governments and regulators, employee interviews and local community engagement. The stakeholder questionnaires were designed to assess and prioritize the importance of ESG issues and identify emerging issues. This comprehensive data collection provides Mercer with a holistic and diverse understanding of the material aspects of its business.

2022年,美世回顾了去年重要性分析的结果。全面的数据收集方法包括问卷调查、投资者访谈、客户调查、与政府和监管机构的对话、员工访谈和当地社区的参与。利益相关者问卷旨在评估ESG问题的重要性并确定其优先顺序,并确定新出现的问题。这种全面的数据收集使美世对其业务的实质方面有了全面而多样的理解。

Double materiality:

双重材质:

A critical aspect of the assessment process is the concept of double materiality. This emerging approach considers the relevance of the identified issues to the company value itself and their impacts on the environment and society as a whole. This dual perspective enables Mercer to incorporate various factors into the decision-making process and ensure that the issues identified are company-specific and relevant to society.

评估过程的一个关键方面是双重实质性的概念。这种新兴方法考虑了已确定的问题与公司价值本身的相关性及其对环境和整个社会的影响。这种双重视角使美世能够将各种因素纳入决策过程,并确保所发现的问题是公司特有的,与社会息息相关。

Objective of the materiality analysis:

实质性分析的目的:

Mercer's primary objective is to identify the most important sustainability issues and develop a holistic, effective, and transparent sustainability strategy with stakeholders. The materiality analysis is the basis for defining and aligning the company's sustainability goals.

美世的主要目标是确定最重要的可持续发展问题,并与利益相关者一起制定全面、有效和透明的可持续发展战略。重要性分析是定义和调整公司可持续发展目标的基础。

Integration into the sustainability report:

整合到可持续发展报告中:

Mercer's sustainability report's content is guided by the materiality assessment results. The most important topics from the economy, environment, and society, which were identified as part of the analysis, are highlighted in our materiality matrix. This underlines Mercer's commitment to transparency and disclosing the most relevant aspects of its business activities from a sustainability perspective.

美世可持续发展报告的内容以重要性评估结果为指导。我们的实质性矩阵重点介绍了作为分析一部分的经济、环境和社会中最重要的话题。这凸显了美世对透明度的承诺,并从可持续发展的角度披露其业务活动中最相关的方面。

Overall, conducting a thorough materiality assessment enables us to achieve business success in a way that also embeds positive impacts on society and the environment. This proactive approach helps to create long-term value for the company and our stakeholders.

总体而言,进行全面的重要性评估使我们能够以对社会和环境产生积极影响的方式取得业务成功。这种积极的方法有助于为公司和我们的利益相关者创造长期价值。
