Business Model
Materiality

Approach

Our business model must understand and respect aspects that are important to both our operations (of both SLT and Mobitel), as well as our stakeholders.

The ‘importance’ of such an aspect takes into consideration both its relevance and significance. ‘Significance’ takes into account the probability of an adverse event occurring, in relation to a particular aspect, as well as the severity of such an event taking place.

As such, these aspects can be represented in a tabulated form as shown below; and can consequently be identified as being of ‘medium’, ‘high’ or ‘very high’ importance to the business and its stakeholders. The aspects are further cross-referenced with the GRI Content in this Annual Report.
