Materiality Assessments

A strategic approach to sustainability.

The process, key results and benefits

Materiality assessments require preparation since they are specific to your corporation. Looking at materiality topics that are typical for an industry is a good starting point. But there is more than just that. Material issues may also stem from your location and other factors that are unique to your corporation. Taking all these factors into account is part of the preparation process. 

The next step is identifying and engaging with your stakeholders. What is the perspective and perception of your stakeholders on ESG topics? What do they consider as relevant or significant, and how important are the topics to them? One way to represent the results is as a matrix. You can use this as an opportunity to discuss the results with the stakeholders involved in the process. 

All this opens up new perspectives on ESG related issues, but also opportunities. It is about identifying the core issues, defining goals and objectives, and embedding them in a long-term strategy or further developing existing approaches.
