FRONTIER CO-OP’S FIRST MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT
Frontier Co-op has long taken pride in our leadership within the natural and organic food industry, as well as our commitment to understanding and addressing the needs and expectations of our stakeholders. Recognizing the importance of staying informed about the challenges our stakeholders face in achieving long-term success and resilience— including both people and planet—we conducted our first Materiality Assessment in 2024.
Through this process, we engaged stakeholders from across our value chain to identify and evaluate key risks and opportunities that our co-op should address in its planning. As a result, our team identified five priority issues that are critical to both our internal and external stakeholders and have a significant impact on the success of our co-op: 1. Regenerative Agriculture 2. Employee Health, Safety, and Well-being 3. Sustainable Operations and Climate Resiliency 4. Sustainable Products 5. Transparency and Traceability To ensure our sustainability strategy reflects the evolving priorities of our stakeholders and the most material ESG issues, we partnered with a leading consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive materiality assessment. The process was aligned with guidance from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) to ensure our disclosures meet interna- tionally recognized frameworks. The assessment included stakeholder engagement, benchmark- ing, and a detailed analysis of key environmental, social, and governance issues most relevant to our business and stakeholders.
