What it is

Materiality Assessment, without the jargon

A materiality assessment identifies and prioritises the ESG topics most significant to your business and stakeholders, so reporting and strategy focus where they count. This single-lens (impact- or investor-focused) assessment underpins GRI, SASB and ISSB reporting alike.
