HYGEIA has evaluated the most important issues related to the axes of corporate responsibility and has recorded the different characteristics associated with these issues, and which are important for its operation. The Corporate Responsibility Group of HYGEIA has carried out a detailed recording and prioritization of the most important issues and recently this year proceeded to connect them with the Goals for Sustainable Development.
During the process of recording and evaluating the most important issues of HYGEIA, both the impact of the potential risk embedded in each issue and the pressure exerted by the stakeholders for each of them were taken into account. Only those that could cause large-scale changes in his performance were characterized as important issues.
The process of evaluating the most important issues was enriched in 2017 by incorporating the opinions of the Group's stakeholders. In particular, a survey/questionnaire was sent with the most important issues to be evaluated to representatives of all the Group's stakeholder groups, so that they could state their own opinions regarding them. Through this research, the essential issues for the operation of the Group were also validated by the stakeholders.

The trust of our stakeholders is an essential ingredient for our long-term success. That is why we are committed to cultivating open dialogue with customers, patients, employees, shareholders and all stakeholder groups, so that there is frequent and transparent communication, through which their needs and expectations are recorded and monitored. More specifically, the framework for cooperation and interaction with stakeholders includes the following:
• the communication channels per stakeholder group
