Materiality Assessment

Tailored materiality assessments for compliance and strategy alignment

Identify and prioritize key sustainability matters for your company with our expert-led, data-driven approach for single and double materiality assessments.

Streamline your materiality assessment with our efficient, expert-led and technology-driven service.


Uncover sustainability issues that matter most to your stakeholders and business

Unlike conventional approaches that can be time-consuming and miss emerging issues, we combine industry-wide data and benchmarks with expert-led stakeholder engagement consultations, ensuring thorough coverage of impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs), to deliver a customized, actionable, and audit-ready assessment. This approach helps remove subjectivity, reflects your unique business context, and saves you valuable time.

Whether you are conducting a single or double materiality assessment, we offer a clear roadmap that aligns with stakeholder expectations and meets regional regulatory requirements from the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, CSRD, GRI, and others.
