How materiality provides direction
Done right, materiality converts noisy stakeholder input and scientific thresholds into a clear plan of action. It shows which sustainability issues drive financial risk or create measurable value, where to focus data collection, which KPIs to track and what the Board needs to decide. The result: prioritised workstreams, board-ready metrics and a defensible evidence trail for reporting and investor dialogue.
Impact Materiality made measurable
Impact Materiality assessments are the basis of any sustainability strategy and governance. We combine quantitative approaches with feasible stakeholder input to assess the positive and negative impacts of your organization on society and the environment.
Our methodology includes:
- Scoring on a scale that you choose, where we map our science-based thresholds for climate, water, nature, and social topics to your chosen cut-off
- Integration of stakeholder perception and expert input
- Tailored approach that best fits the maturity of your impact materiality processes
- Alignment with CSRD’s double and a useful input for IFRS’s single materiality requirements
This ensures that your impact materiality assessment is not just compliant (if relevant), but meaningful. It helps you prioritize actions, allocate resources, and communicate with confidence.
Under CSRD, not only missing out material impacts, but also the reporting on non-material topics is non-compliant. We help you get it right – what to focus on – and go beyond.

Translate materiaity to value and risksthe process
From materiality to strategy – turning insights into action
The process of combining quantitative impact analysis with stakeholder and expert insights to determine both your organization’s impacts on society, and the financial relevance of these impacts.
How to get clear view of how sustainability topics shape your financial performance:
1) Impact Materiality – Quantify your organization’s positive and negative impacts on society and the environment by obtaining the right information which informs the risk & opportunity assessment
2) Risk & Opportunity assessment – Use the impact materiality to understand which sustainability topics are, or will become, a risk or opportunity for the organization (i.e. financial effects)
3) Financial Materiality – Quantify in financial terms the sustainability topics that influence financial performance, both currently and in the future
4) (re-)Design Strategy – Determine the strategy that best matches your risks and opportunities
5) Monitoring & Reporting – Align materiality, management, and reporting to your strategic ambition, ensuring compliance and credibility
