STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS

Unicaja Banco periodically conducts an analysis with reference to the GRI Standards, in particular GRI 1 Foundation, GRI 2 General Disclosures and GRI 3 Material Topics, in order to identify any aspects which are most relevant to its different stakeholders. The aspects which influence the Group's ability to generate value and which are of interest to the groups and people with whom it maintains relationships are thus identified.

Grupo Unicaja Banco expanded its data analysis method in 2020 to determine material topics in the area of sustainability. Such expansion served to draw up its non-financial reporting statements in FY 2020 and 2021. On the basis of the material aspects that had already been identified, a new analysis was conducted in 2022 that expressly envisages the 2030 Agenda.

This all gives rise to the following materiality matrix:

A new methodology is expected to be implemented in 2023, which will allow the Group to understand its stakeholders' expectations concerning sustainability matters and enhance the new sustainability report's effectiveness as from 2024.
