The integrated annual report is our primary report to stakeholders. It is principally aimed at providers of financial capital, being our shareholders and debt providers; however, it considers the information needs of all our stakeholders. This includes customers, suppliers, franchise partners, employees and wider community groups.
We believe this report provides our stakeholders with a good understanding of our business and how our strategy supports sustainable value creation in the short, medium and long term. This report provides insight into the Group’s financial and operational performance, as well as the opportunities and related risks faced by the Group. It further demonstrates how these risks and opportunities underpin our business model, strategic objectives, governance structures and remuneration policy.
Materiality has been applied in determining the scope and content of the integrated annual report, to ensure the report focuses on information that the directors believe is material to its stakeholders’ understanding of the business and its ability to create sustainable value over the short, medium and long term. In determining materiality and material issues, the Board takes into account the macroeconomic environment, changing industry and consumer trends, and the expectations and concerns of stakeholders. Material issues are also considered with reference to the Group’s underlying capitals, which impact its ability to create value over time.
Materiality is determined, reviewed and approved annually by the Board. The Board considers those matters that could substantially affect the Group’s ability to create value over time and materially impact the Group’s current and projected revenue and profitability. These material matters include:
