What is it all about?

A materiality analysis enables you to identify the sustainability aspects relevant to your company. We vary in complexity from very simple to highly complex depending on the needs of your company - and design the formats accordingly, from a simple workshop to a comprehensive quantitative analysis in accordance with CSRD and ESRS.

Together we will find out where your levers lie in terms of the environment and society and what your stakeholders have to say about them. Together we identify where particular business opportunities or business risks lie in the area of sustainability and how you can integrate these into your risk management.

The materiality analysis shows you in summarised form which ESG issues are material for you - also as a basis for subsequent sustainability activities, a sustainability strategy and/or for sustainability reporting.
