Materiality assessment

Materiality helps organisations establish the sustainability issues of greatest relevance or highest priority to them. It provides the evidence that helps you focus your efforts while complying with key standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.

Focus your sustainability strategy and comply with reporting standards

Sustainability is a broad topic. So how do you know where to focus your attention?

What is double materiality?

Double materiality requires companies to look at sustainability from two perspectives:

  • How sustainability issues affect a business’ financial performance, and
  • How its activities impact society and the environment.

Our double materiality assessments examine both perspectives.

What’s included?

  • Engagement with key stakeholders using surveys, research, and interviews
  • Topics aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards
  • Identified risks, opportunities, and impacts
  • Qualitative and qualitative information
  • A risk workshop with key internal stakeholders
  • A presentation of stakeholder views, with support to understand outcomes
  • Materiality assessment results to include in your reporting
