Materiality training (new!) Impact materiality financial materiality From Materiality to Strategy
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.
Materiality is a chicken-and-egg problem: you need impact data to assess materiality, but you need to conduct a materiality assessment to know which impacts are important enough to obtain data for.
When organisations start their sustainability journey, they’re asked to define “what matters most.”
But without data, that’s largely guesswork, usually based on stakeholder opinion or peer examples.
We approach this differently. Using data-driven estimates and science-based thresholds, we identify which topics are likely material for a company like yours – right from the start.
That creates a defensible, fast foundation for discussion and decision-making.
Over time, as you collect more data – from your own operations and from suppliers (and even downstream if relevant) – we replace estimates with measured values.
The result: a materiality process that evolves from assumption to evidence, step by step.

Sustainability managers (internal practitioners) with experience in conducting materiality assessments that want to excel
Early registration is recommended – places are limited to maintain small group discussion.
The programme runs over six weeks. Each week includes a 2-hour live session and a short preparatory video. Live sessions are practical: demonstrations, templates and deep-dives/Q&A. The capstone week focuses on strategic integration and a final application exercise.
Evolution of Materiality & Frameworks
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Learning objectives:
Understand the evolution from financial materiality to double materiality.
Distinguish between assessment and definition of materiality.
Compare major frameworks (CSRD/ESRS, GRI, ISSB/SASB, TCFD, TNFD).
Key takeaway: compliance alone is not strategy.
Understanding the (mis)matches between strategy and materiality, and how a data-driven approache helps
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Learning objectives:
Map sustainability strategy to materiality scope in the context of potential compliance requirements.
How to determine the scope of the materiality assessment and priorities based on strategy.
Key takeaway: strategic clarity defines what to measure in order to manage.
Conducting Impact Materiality Assessments (IMA)
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Learning objectives:
Run an IMA using data, PI’s science-based thresholds + stakeholder inputs.
Document methods for audit readiness.
Key takeaway: early scoping + documentation = starting point
Conducting Financial Materiality Assessments (FMA)
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Learning objectives:
Apply the investor/financial lens to material topics.
Use quantitative links to engage finance.
Key takeaway: transparent financial links enable board engagement.
Compliance & Assurance
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Learning objectives:
Understand assurance expectations (limited vs reasonable).
How to be compliant while keeping strategy consistent.
Key takeaway: design materiality for assurance.
Strategic Integration
Duration Lecture: 2 hours (+ pre-recorded 30–45 min & 1-hour deep-dive/Q&A)
Key takeaway: design materiality for assurance and strategic use.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with sustainability reporting concepts, experience in conducting materiality assessments and a working knowledge of company sustainability activities. No advanced finance skills required – FMA sessions (week 4) explain numeric links in accessible terms.
