ESG double materiality assessment should be the 1st step in ESG and sustainability reporting process. This means identifying the impacts to the nature and people caused by business activities, and mapping risks and opportunities that arise from sustainability matters. The outcome of such assessment would allow to set boundaries for the report - which topics and sub-topics to disclose on.
Yet, double materiality should not be done for reporting alone. Above all, it should give a valuable input for company`s business strategy. Being aware of the impacts, risks and opportunities gives you an opportunity to address these in shaping the business strategy to be future-proof and resilient.
We work in line with EU`s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive`s standard (ESRS) requirements. Based on EFRAG's implementation guidelines for double materiality assessment, we have developed Sustinere`s own methodology and scoring on how to assess the materiality from impact and risk/opportunity perspective.
