Materiality matrix has been constructed based on PKP CARGO Group stakeholders’ group specification and the questionaires received from them. The questionaire included several questions that allowed PKP CARGO Group to define key areas of significance. Thanks to that form of dialogue PKP CARGO Group had a chance to get to know what aspects and to what extent are most interesting to our stakeholders. Materiality and significance of the aspects was addressed for the fisrt time in our first integrated online report 2017.
