Most companies have now completed their first double materiality assessment. Many are realising the manual, consultant-led approach that got them through cycle one isn't going to scale into cycle two, three, and beyond.

The cost is high. The output is static. The IP walks out the door with the consultant. And when stakeholders, regulators, or your board ask the assessment to actually do something, the spreadsheet doesn't have an answer.

In this webinar, we'll look at what changes when you treat double materiality as a continuous, technology-enabled capability rather than a once-a-year project. We'll cover what sustainability leaders are telling us they want, the four shifts that define a technology-led DMA, where AI genuinely helps, and the ROI of bringing materiality in-house.

You'll leave with:

  • A clear view of where manual DMA approaches break down
  • A practical framework for evaluating a technology-led approach
  • Honest perspective on what AI can and can't do in the DMA workflow
  • A sense of the cost, time, and quality return on investment

Who it's for: Chief Sustainability Officers, Heads of Sustainability, ESG Directors, and sustainability practitioners who have completed at least one DMA cycle and are thinking about what comes next.
