ESG Materiality Assessment — Thought Leader Global

Your stakeholders are increasingly inquiring more often about what your company is doing in terms of ESG (including ethical and responsible business practices, sustainability, 3rd parties, employee treatment and many more topics that are included in ESG)

Having an ESG Materiality Assessment will empower your organisation to identify the most important ESG issues relevant. It looks at the impact to your organisation and to your stakeholders. The impact can include risks but also opportunities.

Our corporate panel will discuss:

Why you need an ESG Materiality Assessment: How it becomes a blueprint and business case for your group’s ESG strategy
Define the goals of the assessment, the outcomes and include your organisation’s corporate and ESG leadership
Identify the most important risks and opportunities for your organisation and ranking them by relative importance
Identify a range of stakeholders (board, investors, employees, vendors, NGOs, etc) and interviewing them to gain insights and tailor your communication strategy
Capturing long-term risks in advance & taking a proactive approach within your ESG strategy
