Through a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) you will define the topics where your organisation creates impact, on people and the environment, and where sustainability creates risks on and opportunities for your business. Every sustainability strategy or action plan will start from your company’s material impact areas, risks and opportunities.
Carrying out this assessment in a thorough and comprehensive way from the start of your sustainability journey will assure that you can focus on what matters.
The derived information can be used:
to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive’s (CSRD) requirements and
to develop or mature your sustainability strategy.
From the start, you can choose for a CSRD compliant or a strategic DMA approach.
The strategic DMA adds extra steps to the compliant approach, to ensure your strategy’s further development or strengthening runs efficiently.
