Sustainability strategy

Double materiality analysis
– Impacts, risks and opportunities

Taking into account your business model and value chain, we support you in identifying and assessing the IROs (Impacts, Risks, Opportunities) – always in close consultation with your stakeholders

Your advantages of a
double materiality analysis

  1. Legally compliant sustainability reporting: We identify all material topics for reporting and thus fulfill the legal requirements.
  2. Holistic risk and opportunity assessment: We analyze ESG-related opportunities and risks (Environmental, Social, Governance) and their financial implications. This enables early identification of risks, strategic integration, and future-oriented management

The process of a
double materiality analysis

Step 1

Kick-Off

At the outset, the project team is defined, collaboration formats are established, and expectations of all parties are aligned. In addition, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your company to conduct the materiality assessment in a way that is as specific and relevant to your organization as possible.

Step 2

Workshop

In this step, we identify the sustainability topics relevant to your business and compile them into a mid-list, which serves as the foundation for further analysis.

Step 3

Interactive analysis and evaluation process

In close collaboration with your company, we analyze and assess the Impacts, Risks & Opportunities (IROs). We explain the methodology while you provide relevant company data. Together, we review and refine the assessments to ensure a sound evaluation of opportunities and risks

Step 4

Final discussion

We present the materiality matrix and jointly define the final set of material topics, which serve as the strategic basis for your sustainability reporting and strategy.

Frequently asked questions,
that we answer

Double materiality encompasses both the inside-out perspective (how the company impacts the environment and society) and the outside-in perspective (how environmental and societal changes affect the company financially).

IRO stands for Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities. These elements form the foundation of a comprehensive double materiality assessment in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS 2)

The Impacts, Risks & Opportunities (IROs) are developed in an iterative process in close cooperation with your organization. This requires detailed information about your business model, value chain, and relevant sustainability topics. Based on this data, we analyze the company’s impacts on the environment and society, as well as the opportunities and risks that may arise from external factors.
