2014 | ANNUAL REPORT 115
In 2014, FCA conducted 14 internal sustainability-focused Stakeholder Engagement events in Italy, the U.S. and
China. These events provided a platform for more than 400 employees representing the various business areas to
express their views, needs and priorities. The participants took part in discussions and workshops that addressed the
economic, environmental and social impacts of FCA’s activities. The events were also effective in identifying material
aspects specific to each region.
Materiality Analysis
FCA’s sustainability reporting focuses on topics that have been determined to be material in accordance with the
Global Reporting Initiative (G4) framework (“Material Aspects are those that reflect the organization’s significant
economic, environmental and social impacts; or substantively influence the assessments and decisions of
stakeholders”, Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability Reporting Guidelines- G4, pg. 7).
In 2014, material topics identified in prior years were subjected to a thorough review and the FCA materiality diagram
was updated accordingly (The materiality analysis was carried out in accordance with the AA1000 Stakeholder
Engagement Standard guidelines for the steps relating to the identification, mapping and prioritization of stakeholders,
and to the analysis of the results of their involvement. The guidance notes on Accountability and the criteria defined
by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI-G4) were also followed with regard to outlining an approach to the materiality
principle and the identification of material issues). In addition to the results from our stakeholder engagement activities,
the determination of materiality also took into account strategic priorities, corporate values, competitive activities and
social expectations.
An analysis of the scope of each material aspect confirmed that it has impacts throughout the entire organization
and across all operating segments and regions. In addition, each aspect has impacts outside the organization in
geographical areas where the Group operates and for all stakeholder categories identified.
