Materiality Assessment
Stakeholder Engagement
Engaged stakeholder groups covered customers, suppliers, contractors, KWE management, employees, organized labor representatives, and investors. 50 stakeholders provided feedback via online surveys, and more than a dozen stakeholders supplied additional information through interviews and facilitated group discussions.
Survey Responses
Overall, the stakeholder's analysis found that all material aspects were rated as high priority, with all topics scoring above 6 on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 representing highest priority). The top five aspects prioritized by stakeholders responding to the survey are shown below:

Impact Analysis
We evaluated more than 20 material aspects to assess the magnitude of potential impact on those issues, using over 60 metrics representing indicators of social, economic, and/or environmental impacts. Indicators were assessed using an industry and geography perspective, using the relative impact of the transport sector and the major countries in which KWE operates compared to global results.
There was a broad range of impact levels for the material aspects assessed. The top five impact areas are shown below.

Overall Results
The materiality assessment process combines the results of the stakeholder feedback and impact analysis to determine KWE's top priority aspects - those topics that are important to both stakeholders and where KWE has a high potential impact on the environment or society. The following figure shows the combined results and highlights the top issues that emerged for KWE from the analysis.
