style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The methodology adopted by the organisation for the identification of the material topics includes peer and sectoral analysis and internal stakeholder discussions. Based on above exercise, we have identified relevant ESG factors which are material to our stakeholders and business operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an outcome of this exercise, the topics are then further consulted along with executive members to finalise and prioritise material risk and opportunities arising from the business strategy. Finally, a materiality matrix is plotted to represent the identified material factors which are bucketed as low, medium, and high priority. Some of the identified material topics that have potential impacts on business performance have been discussed in this report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Material Topics<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-700 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kogta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"558\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kogta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2.png 558w, https:\/\/kogta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-146x150.png 146w, https:\/\/kogta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-410x420.png 410w, https:\/\/kogta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/2-535x548.png 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>CORPORATE GOVERNANCE\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Board of Directors are the highest governing body engaged throughout the year to deliver governance practices of the highest standards and review the policies and frameworks for the organisation to maintain a robust structure.
