About this GRI content index

- Annual Report (AR)
- Responsible Business Data Sheet (RBDS)
- Gender Pay Gap Report
- Modern Slavery Statement
- CDP submissions (Climate, Forest, Water).
Find out more online here, with downloads available at www.morgansindall.com/investors/governance.
Our responsible business reporting content has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards. To date, the GRI has not published a sector standard relevant to our business and as such we use the universal and topic standards to describe our social and environmental impacts.
Our responsible business policies
We operate a decentralised business and therefore, the Group's policies provide minimum standards which our divisions adapt with additional requirements specific to their individual businesses. We regularly update our policy frameworks at Group level, while divisional level updates to their polices follow separate timelines.
A selection of documents currently available online includes:
- Health & safety policy statement
- Code of Conduct
- Sustainable sourcing timber policy
- Sustainable water policy
- Modern slavery policy
- Human rights policy
- Board diversity policy
- Tax strategy
Online policies are available on our website here https://www.morgansindall.com/investors/governance. Not all policies are published publicly. Copies can be requested from our company secretary (cosec@morgansindall.com).
All policies are held on our intranet.

Material topics
Our materiality assessment
We began our 2023 assessment by conducting a comprehensive, online survey based around the Future-Fit Business Benchmark methodology, which links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To assess the Group's double materiality, the survey was also informed by the Global Reporting Initiative's sustainability context principle and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board's (SASB) five-factor test. In total, 2,680 people completed the survey, including 2,125 employees and 555 external stakeholders. The initial findings were used to guide 11 in-depth interviews with industry thought-leaders and stakeholder representatives, to explore each identified issue in more depth.
The results of our assessment are illustrated below and the issues considered material are shown in the diagram on the left. Many issues identified as material relate to one or more of our Total Commitments, reaffirming that these are the right areas to be focusing on. Our material issues are important to our stakeholders and therefore to the business. While none have been identified as financially material, they shape our ability to generate long-term value for the Group.

Our significant actual and potential waste-related impacts are spillage and pollution risk on site; all sites are subject to waste management controls. The operational inputs, activities, and outputs that lead (or could lead) to such impacts include diverse construction materials and fuels, all of which are subject to regulatory controls and quality assurance. Where there are risks of negative impacts related to waste they are limited to, and managed within, our own activities; they are not related to upstream or downstream activities in our value chain.
