MATERIALITY MATRIX
We continue to conduct our Materiality Analysis on an annual basis and gather feedback from
employees using an anonymous questionnaire. Employees complete the survey and provide
their analysis on a range of Agenda 2030 related ESG topics.
For each topic, the employee gives a score from 0-10 for how important the topic is and how
they perceive Mercuria considers the importance. The results are then presented in the scatter
plot where the x-axis represents the ideal importance and the y-axis the perceived importance.
Broadly, the results indicate that our
employees judge our organization is managing
issues effectively in that the emphasis placed
on all topics is at least as strong, if not stronger
than is felt to be warranted by the topic, as is
indicated by data points falling above the
inclined 45-degree line.
When comparing the 2022 results clustering
as shown with the blue oval with scores from
the previous 2 years (2020 in purple and 2021
in green) a distinct shift can be seen.
Not only has the clustering of the scores
moved further along the trendline indicating an
increase in both the ideal and perceived
importance of the topics, but it has moved
further away from the trendline. This indicates
that employees perceive that Mercuria is
placing greater emphasis on these elements
than the employees’ ideal.
This shift can likely be explained by not only
the increased amount of internal discussion of
ESG related topics, but also the increasing
action that Mercuria is taking with regard to
ESG related topics.
For example, Mercuria’s commitment that over 50% of its investments would be into the energy
transition by 2025, for which we are well ahead, as well as the achievement of being net zero by
offsetting all of the company’s scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions for 2022.
