04DIVERSIFICATION WITH SUSTAINABILITY

RELATIONSHIP WITH INTERESTED PARTIES

In order to acquire a more in-depth knowledge of its strategic public audiences, Eternit uses AA1000, methodology, a tool developed by the ISEA (Institute for Social and Ethical Responsibility), of London.  Having mapped out these public audiences (stakeholders), the company then developed a series of relationship channels in order to understand their needs and also how these converge with the Company's management strategies.  The stakeholders and the relationship channels are listed and explained below.
