Materiality Matrix
The foundation of Telenet’s sustainability strategy
Sustainability is a multi-faceted concept, more than any company can tackle in one go. That is why we focus our efforts on the most relevant issues: the materialities. We determine the importance of the various material matters in close consultation and dialogue with our stakeholders. The result is a schematic representation of our sustainability priorities, their relative importance to the stakeholders and their impact on the company: the materiality matrix.

Trends
The most important trends that define our approach to sustainability
Our approach to sustainability is defined by emerging trends and market development that have an important impact on society and on our business operations.
Technology Innovation
COVID-19 accelerated the digitization of society. Technology innovation paves the way for the adoption of a digital-first attitude in people’s professional and private lives, and new ways of working, new business models and new entertainment experiences. However, these technological advances also present challenges. The pandemic has for instance highlighted the digital divide, prompted telecom providers to make connectivity solutions accessible to all, and pushed technology companies to increase their investments in digital inclusion and skills development.
