Materiality Matrix and
Definition of Material Topics

GRI 102-40 | 102-42 | 102-43 | 102-44 | 102-46 | 102-47 | 102-49 | 103-1

Set out in 2018, when 2019-2023 Five-Year Strategic Plan was prepared, the Materiality Matrix presents the prioritization of material themes, as well as the definition of their aspects and limits, which have been referenced by BB Foundation's stakeholders: BB Foundation employees, Banco do Brasil conglomerate (Grantor) employees, representatives of the Public Power (municipal, state or federal), investor partners, executive partners, project participants and other representatives of civil society and of the Third Sector.

In 2020, with the purpose of a greater connection and alignment with the requirements and changes pertinent to the Third Sector of Brazilian economy, and having faced a year with many atypical external occurrences (pandemic, extreme climatic effects and others), a new consultation with the main internal and external stakeholders of BB Foundation was necessary to update the Materiality Matrix.

As a result of this new process of verifying the material issues to be addressed in this Activities Report, the following subjects were considered of high relevance for stakeholders and of high impact for BB Foundation:

  • Humanitarian Aid/Social Assistance (emergency causes)

  • Ethics & Transparency

  • Social Technology

  • Socioenvironmental Responsibility in Programs and Projects

  • Diversity, Equality & Inclusion

  • Mobilizing Social Investment

From the definition of these material themes, it was possible to outline strategies that are more aligned with the reality of the communities served by BB Foundation and with the vision and interest of our stakeholders.

In addition, other topics are also mentioned throughout this Report, as BB Foundation considers them relevant for its performance, such as: Relationship with Partners, Communication and Visibility, Volunteering, Risk and People Management, Governance and Information Technology.
