    A Practical Guide for Sustainability Teams

    Materiality assessments have become a foundational tool for companies seeking to identify and prioritize the sustainability issues that matter most to their business and stakeholders. Yet many sustainability teams struggle to determine which topics warrant attention, how to prioritize competing issues, and how to align their approach with evolving reporting frameworks.

    • The strategic benefits of conducting a materiality assessment
    • Core principles for effective stakeholder engagement and prioritization
    • A practical five-step process for identifying, assessing, and prioritizing material topics and IROs
