Stakeholder Relationships

Matrika bistvenosti_ENG

 

In 2023, Fraport Slovenija prepared its own materiality matrix for the second time as part of the strategic sustainable development management or ESG (environmental, social, governance). Previously, the company managed the areas of sustainable development on the basis of materiality matrix, which as a rule had been prepared by the parent company Fraport AG in dialogue with internal and external stakeholders, usually at  three-year intervals.  The company Fraport Slovenija invited its internal and external stakeholders, namely employees, passengers, business partners, suppliers, representatives of the local community and professional organisations, to assess the key areas of the strategic sustainable development management or ESG. Simultaneously, the company’s management reassessed the key areas.  During the online questionnaire 188 invited respondents answered, of which 66% were employees, 10% passengers, 5% suppliers, 15% other business partners, 2% representatives of the local community and 2% representatives of the professional public.  

  

The key areas were divided into three segments, in line with our sustainable development management or ESG:

  • Corporate Governance;
  • Social Governance;
  • Environmental Governance.

The essential areas managed by Fraport Slovenija are divided according to all three ESG pillars. In terms of management, ensuring compliance and ethical business conduct is a top priority for the company, which is also highly ranked among stakeholders. Ensuring airport safety, growth and development of the airport, and passenger satisfaction and service quality are among the most important aspects of governance for both the company and its stakeholders. The minor differences in ratings between the company and the stakeholders indicate a high level of alignment of priorities. Compared to last year, the company has ranked profitability among the top priorities (95%) this year, which was set much lower last year. This is understandable, given the state of recovery from the pandemic. Stakeholders have ranked this aspect of management a bit lower (73%).  

The indicators in the area of social environment management are also highly important for the company Fraport Slovenija as well as its stakeholders. The company’s highest priority was put on the indicator ‘desirable and responsible employer’, which was also rated highest among stakeholders. This was followed by the indicators ‘occupational health and safety’, and ‘career development and fair pay’. This year, the indicator ‘equal opportunities’ was highly ranked (89% for the company and 78% for the stakeholders), which was not recognised as very important last year.  

Eight indicators were ranked among important indicators related to the natural resource management, which indicates a high level of awareness and responsibility towards natural environment on the part of the company Fraport Slovenija and its stakeholders. ‘Waste reduction’ was the top priority for the company, followed by the ‘production of renewable energy for own use’ and ‘green mobility’. Stakeholders ranked highest the ‘production of renewable energy for own use’. 'Reducing the airport’s carbon footprint’ is also an important indicator for the company and for stakeholders, but is ranked lower in priority than the ‘production of renewable energy for own use’. The indicator ‘water use reduction’ is placed among the most important indicator this year, which was ranked much lower and was not considered the top priority area last year. Other priority environmental indicators are local air quality, local noise reduction and the introduction of circular economy models, which Fraport Slovenija ranks highly.  

Although there are some differences between Fraport Slovenija and its stakeholders in assessing individual indicators, the overall picture shows a considerable alignment in understanding priorities of sustainable development management.
