Materiality Assessment Guide

A materiality assessment aims to gauge the importance of specific sustainability issues to both your business and your stakeholders, with the intention of providing key insights to guide company strategy and communication. Regulations such as the European Directive on non-financial reporting, are leading companies to consider what non-financial information matters most to their stakeholders, and what they should report on. 

A materiality assessment can:

• Ensure organisations are prioritising issues that matter most to stakeholders, and reporting on them accordingly.
• Help businesses to identify new trends on the horizon.
• Allow businesses to take advantage of new opportunities.  
• Help to identify where a company is creating or reducing value for society.
