Our 2017 materiality assessment was an important step to identify and address the most relevant issues, but we undertake many more forms of stake- holder engagement throughout the year across our business. Annually, we review our relationships to identify any gaps and consider potential new partners that would be valuable stake- holders for the company and inform our citizenship approach. This analysis happens across various functions; the Citizenship and Sustainability teams, Citi Community Development (CCD), Public Affairs, Government Affairs, Investor Relations and other teams across the business review their stakeholder part- nerships regularly, as does the Citi Foundation. Sometimes this involves collaboration across business functions. For example, the Citizenship team works closely with Diversity, Recruiting and CCD to look at partnerships across our functions that relate to Citi’s diversity priorities.
