Introduction
Materiality assessment is the foundation of meaningful ESG reporting. It identifies which environmental, social, and governance issues are most relevant to stakeholders and most impactful to the business.
With the rise of double materiality under the EU CSRD and continued emphasis on financial materiality under ISSB and SASB, companies must accurately identify and prioritize issues across their value chain. This course provides tools, techniques, and methodologies for conducting comprehensive materiality assessments.
