MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

In 2020, AEO conducted a Materiality Assessment to help us prioritize all of the important topics that are a part of our program. We gathered input from our associates, customers, non-profit organizations and peers to understand how to best rank all of these 21 issues. This analysis is a living document, and we will periodically reassess this ranking to continually check that we are going in the right direction.
