Welcome to EMG’s Sustainability Materiality Assessment service, where we assist organizations in identifying and prioritizing critical sustainability issues aligned with their strategic objectives and stakeholder expectations. Understanding these material issues is essential for enhancing stakeholder trust, mitigating risks, and driving sustainable growth. It’s a required step for those following the GRI Reporting Framework.
Why Sustainability Materiality Assessment Matters:
More than just compliance, it’s a strategic tool for maximizing positive impact and minimizing risks. By identifying relevant sustainability issues, organizations can focus resources where they matter most to stakeholders, impacting business performance significantly.
How Sustainability Materiality Assessment Works:
We review industry-specific material issues and their relevance to your business. Engaging key stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, regulators, and community members, we understand their perspectives. Using a robust assessment framework, we analyze each issue’s significance based on financial, operational, reputational, and regulatory implications.
