Materiality analysis – the first step for your sustainability report
Typical challenges faced by our customers:
- How can the really relevant ESG topics be specifically identified?
- How can the opinions and needs of stakeholders be effectively integrated?
Why conduct a materiality analysis?
Increasing legal requirements such as the Swiss Code of Obligations or standards such as CSRD and GRI require companies to conduct a well-founded and comprehensible materiality analysis. Stakeholders such as suppliers, customers and investors also expect a transparent analysis of their ESG issues. In addition, the materiality analysis not only creates transparency, but also provides valuable insights for your corporate strategy.
While the single materiality matrix only refers to the company’s impact on ESG issues (inside-out perspective), the double materiality analysis also considers the flip side and determines the financial opportunities and risks of ESG factors for the company (outside-in perspective). The expectations of stakeholders should be determined and included in this process. The result of the analysis is visualized in a materiality matrix and serves as the basis for strategy and reporting.
