7 Basic Steps for Conducting a Successful Materiality Assessment

Materiality is a hot topic in the corporate sustainability world, with CSR teams working hard to meaningfully convey the opportunities and successes of their initiatives to both internal and external stakeholders.

To bring insight and focus to their work, many are utilizing materiality assessments.

If you’re not familiar, materiality assessments are formal exercises aimed at engaging stakeholders to find out how important specific environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are to them. The insights gained can then be used to guide strategy, communication and help you tell a more meaningful sustainability story.
