Based on the materiality analysis process of the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) and Zijin Mining’s business characteristics, the materiality analysis process of Zijin Mining was formed. At the end of the reporting period, with the assistance of external ESG experts, we carried out a detailed survey. Based on the senior management’s judgments on the materiality assessment results, we screened out 12 important topics in relation to corporate development. We carried out business impact assessments of material issues and set up business strategies and long-term objectives.
