In the rapidly evolving sustainability landscape, a materiality assessment has become essential for shaping strategy, driving effective implementation, and producing meaningful disclosures. However, there are different reasons for conducting a materiality assessment and the approach you take will depend on your company’s needs and regulatory requirements.

This webinar will explore why materiality assessments are critical for businesses. We’ll cover key reasons for conducting a materiality assessment, including:

  • Financial Materiality for IFRS S1
  • Impact Materiality for GRI
  • Double Materiality for CSRD
  • B Corp certification for large multinationals

You will learn how materiality assessments not only meet compliance requirements but they help align sustainability initiatives with company strategy, ensuring focus on what truly matters.

We will also dive into how companies conduct these assessments, from using simple spreadsheets and office tools to outsourcing consultants to leveraging dedicated software solutions. By examining the pros and cons of each method, this session will help you determine the best approach for your organization, whether it’s a DIY effort, outsourced, technology-driven, or a combination.
