In this regard, we conducted a series of extensive interviews through which we held debates with a series of key stakeholders, through which we aimed to: • Developing an understanding of the impacts, risks and opportunities related to our material aspects • Understanding current stakeholder concerns regarding material issues • Collecting feedback on our company's handling of material issues The explanation of the material aspects remains the same as in the previous year, updating the form of presentation of the aspects taking into account the new names. We have centralized all this information in the following table, in order to present the information in a clear way, aligned with the concept of double materiality according to the new reporting requirements. The risks, opportunities and impacts are presented exclusively in the table below, without having assigned probability of fulfillment or impact, respectively quantification of the impact. In terms of presenting environmental and societal impacts, we also identified and updated potential impacts in interviews (marked in italics in the table below).
