OUR MATERIALITY PROCESS
The group's material issues reflect the most important considerations in the board's deliberations and management's thinking in managing the business, to ensure the group's ongoing ability to deliver capability-based growth and focused value creation for its stakeholders. The process to refine and reaffirm the group's material issues in 2016 included the following direct inputs:
| > | The key questions and concerns of stakeholders at both group and divisional levels, determined through engagement with executive and senior leadership who are responsible for stakeholder relationships. |
| > | Feedback from the investment community garnered through ongoing engagement with investors and analysts throughout the year. |
| > | Reference to the Imperial board's key discussions and considerations during the year. |
| > | Input from group and divisional leadership. |
