MATERIALITY ANALYSIS

The challenge

After the first experiences with sustainability plenty of companies realize that:

  • the needs and requirements of important stakeholders are not clear

  • reporting according to recognised sustainability reporting standards set up by the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is expected by stakeholders; therefore, a materiality analysis is required

  • internal and external priorities in regards to sustainability are not clearly defined

  • you require objective results which should not be influenced by an internal company perspective

 

Benefits of conducting a materiality analysis

Conducting a materiality analysis:

  • creates clarity about the priorities in regards to sustainability which makes it an essential element of a substantiated sustainability strategy

  • helps stakeholders to recognize where to set their sustainability priorities

  • strengthens credibility and reputation of your company because it shows that your company deals with sustainability substantially

  • Sets the basis for creating goals, measures and key performance indicators

​
