DefiningMateriality
Aprocess ofmateriality determination is
used to focusDolphinEnergy’s approach
to sustainabilitymanagement and
reporting, ensuringwe aremanaging
and reportingonwhatmattersmost.
Determining sustainabilitymateriality
is anongoingprocess that continues
to incorporate the input of stakeholders,
aswell as international and national
initiatives andguidelines. For 2013,
this has included:
• GRI G4 aspects
• GRI Sustainability Topics for Sectors
• GRI Oil andGasSector Supplement
• IPIECAVoluntaryReportingGuidelines
• The national visions of Qatar and
theKuwait
• TheQatar Energy and IndustrySDIR
Programme focusareasand indicators
• A reviewof what our international
shareholders Total andOxy are
focusedon
• Feedback receivedon theDolphin
Energy 2012SustainabilityReport
Thematerial issues selected reflect our
organization’s significant economic,
environmental, andsocial impacts, or they
influence substantively the assessments
anddecisionsof stakeholders.
The issueswith thehighest level of
materiality areof greatest importance to
bothbusiness success and stakeholder
expectations. These topics areamajor
focusof our sustainabilitymanagement
policy andplan, andareclearly reported
both internallyandexternally inour annual
sustainability reports. The issuesassigned
amedium level ofmateriality represent
a range of topics that thebusinessmust
managewell and report on consistently.
The issues given the lowest level of
materiality are not currently ofmajor
strategic importance to thebusiness or
stakeholders and thuswill not be a focus
for immediateactionor extensive reporting.
