What is there to know about Double Materiality Assessment?

Our solution is central in understanding where your company’s largest corporate sustainability reporting directive requirements lie.

What does Double Materiality mean? We’ll explain.

The concept well-known in the fields of sustainability and finance is two-fold: it looks at the environmental and social  impact on an organisations financial performance, as well as at an organisations operational activities on the environment and society. The first one is also known as the financial materiality, while the second one is often recognised as environmental and social materiality. Together they are your double materiality.

Double materiality is at the heart of building an impact-driven business case while complying with reporting frameworks; it shows companies can thrive financially, while respecting the environment and society, and urges companies to evaluate and document both categories.
