Whether you are looking at BCorp Certification, reporting under the GRI, looking at the CSRD or just looking into sustainability ‘best practice’ you’ve likely come across the recommendation to conduct a Materiality Assessment.
There’s Materiality Assessments as a ‘tick box’ exercise, but it’s a missed opportunity to gather deep, impactful insights from your stakeholders to align your business with what matters most to your customers, employees, community and broader stakeholders. – At the end of the day, that’s just good business.
Done right, you’ll find Materiality Assessments can shape your business strategy more broadly than just ‘sustainability’.
How do we do this ‘insightful materiality’?
