ESG in Practice
Double Materiality Assessment


Double Materiality Assessment Process

Dongsung Finetec conducted a double materiality assessment in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards 2021's
reporting-topic selection principles and assessment methodology to identify key sustainability management issues. This approach evaluates
the overall impact of our business activities on the environment and society while also assessing the potential impact that external ESG-related factors may have on our business operations and financial position. Through this process, we set issue priorities and derived material topics as well as reporting topics.
