GRI 2-6

The business model presented on the right is a graphical illustration of how CDB utilises its resources, through its business activities, to generate stakeholder outputs and outcomes that aim to fulfil the Company’s strategic purpose and create value over the short, medium, and long-term. The inputs relate to resources on which CDB depends to conduct its operations. The activities are the material actions that CDB undertakes to operate successfully such as differentiating itself in the market, revenue generation, innovation, etc. Outputs refer to the key products and services, and the outcomes are the internal and external consequences as a result of CDB’s business activities and outputs.

CDB's business model aligns these elements to ensure efficient resource allocation and maximise positive impacts on stakeholders. Customers benefit from valuable products or services that meet their needs. Employees experience job security, growth opportunities, and a supportive work environment. Investors gain confidence in returns through revenue generation and profitability. The environment is protected through the mitigation of negative outcomes, and the wider community benefits from economic development, job creation, and social initiatives. Considering the interests of these stakeholders fosters trust, builds strong relationships, and creates shared value for all involved.
