Complimentary Webinar:
Understanding the EU CSRD: The Dos and Don’ts of Double Materiality Assessments
Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. CET (11:00 a.m. ET, 8:00 a.m. PT)
For companies in any stage of their sustainability journey, a materiality assessment is critical to prioritize corporate sustainability efforts and expectations, as well as meeting external stakeholder expectations and ESG regulations. The EU CSRD regulation requires a double materiality assessment focusing both on financial materiality – how sustainability issues are impacting your company’s finances – and impact materiality – the actual impact of your company on society and the environment. The process includes benchmarking impacts to peers and top ESG performers, engaging with stakeholders and estimating relative impacts. The task is not easy, and the pitfalls are many! However, significant strategic benefits are expected from this exercise.
