Materiality assessments are gaining recognition as a vital step in an organization’s sustainability journey, from shaping ESG strategies to enhancing operations and reporting. Among these, the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) prescribed by the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) stands out as one of the most rigorous standards.

However, conducting a CSRD-aligned DMA presents unique challenges and potential pitfalls. In this Socialsuite webinar, we’ll examine common mistakes organizations make when attempting to meet CSRD’s exacting standards. The assurance requirement of the DMA process is an incentive to avoid these pitfalls and get it correct the first time. Jeff Crawford, Managing Director at Azuri, joins us to explore essential insights, including areas where requirements may be misunderstood, misapplied, or overlooked.

Deepen your understanding of CSRD double materiality and learn best practices for navigating these requirements with confidence. This webinar is a must for anyone committed to conducting a thorough, CSRD-compliant materiality assessment.
