adequate view of:
the policy and business operations with regard to corporate social responsibility; and
the thereto related events and achievements for the year ended 31 December 2018,
in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and
the internally applied reporting criteria as included in the section 'reporting criteria'.
