Page 132 - KELAG Annual Report 2017

As the leading energy service provider in Austria, KELAG is aware of its responsibility for sustainability and is taking active
measures in this area. The sustainability strategy is supported by all companies included in the consolidated financial
statements. The sustainability report entitled “Wertvoll” has provided a channel of communication for raising public
awareness for many years. The non-financial information has been integrated in the management report of the annual
report this year for the first time, thus meeting the increasing need for information.

In accordance with statutory requirements, this report contains all information that is required to gain an understanding
of the development and performance of the business and the position of the company as well as the impact of its activities
and which at least concerns environmental, social and personnel matters, the respect for human rights and the fight
against corruption and bribery. In some cases, more information can be found on the KELAG website or in other sections
of the annual report. These are cross-referenced in the report.

The concepts implemented, their results as well as the associated processes of analysis are presented in their entirety.
Significant opportunities and risks which could have an impact on these matters have been covered in the section above.
A description of the business model is presented in the introductory sections of the management report, which describe
the business divisions and strategies in detail. The content of the report is orientated toward the information needs of the
stakeholders as well as the fields of action of the KELAG materiality matrix. In the preparation of the materiality matrix,
those topics were identified which entail opportunities as well as risks for KELAG and its stakeholders. The relevant topics
were ranked as important by KELAG in order to reflect the most comprehensive overview possible of the economic,
ecological and social impact or to influence the decision-making of stakeholders.
