Through the Materiality Process, we identify the important topics for EDP's stakeholders by cross-referencing them with their importance to business. This analysis supports the decision-making process and the development of strategies in the organization, particularly the definition of our sustainability strategy. 

This process results in the identification of the Material Issues for EDP, which represent those that may affect the value creation of the company in the short, medium or long term and which are recognized as important for its different stakeholder groups. Due to this identification, it is possible to optimize the strategic orientation of the company and direct its internal management in order to internalize and respond to these Material Issues. 

In 2023, following the conducted analysis and initiating alignment with the CSRD, 14 material topics were identified, with their relevance to society and business positioned according to the matrix:
