Executive Summary

Under the CSRD, Double Materiality Assessments (DMAs) will become a regulatory requirement for nearly 50,000 European businesses by 2027, with the mandate extending to non-EU companies by 2029. DMAs not only determine which KPIs should be reported but also shape the strategic direction of a firm’s sustainability programme, making them a key focus of sustainability teams.  However, many professionals are struggling to navigate the broad and often unclear guidance around conducting these assessments.

This webinar will explore the evolving ESG regulatory landscape and explain the importance of double materiality assessments in shaping your sustainability strategy. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to approach these assessments effectively in order to ensure compliance and drive long-term value.

You’ll learn: 

  • What a double materiality assessment is, and why are they important for your sustainability strategy
  • The role of technology and professional services in facilitating efficient and accurate assessments
  • Best practices for conducting a successful double materiality assessment at your organization
