    Why double materiality matters

    Double materiality is a cornerstone of modern ESG reporting. It helps organisations understand both how sustainability issues affect financial performance and how their operations impact society and the environment. Arthian’s assessments support compliance, strategy, and stakeholder trust.

    What is double materiality?

    Double materiality considers two dimensions: financial materiality (impact on the organisation) and impact materiality (impact on the world). Required under CSRD and expected by stakeholders, it’s essential for credible ESG strategy and reporting.

    Our double materiality services

    We help you design and deliver a structured, stakeholder-informed materiality process—aligned with CSRD, GRI, and ESRS. From framework design to matrix development, our services ensure your ESG priorities are clear, defensible, and actionable.

      Our approach includes:


         

      • Identification of ESG topics across key impact areas

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is double materiality required under CSRD?

    Yes. CSRD mandates reporting on both financial and impact materiality—how sustainability issues affect your organisation and how your organisation affects the world.

    How is double materiality different from traditional materiality?

    Traditional materiality focuses only on financial impacts. Double materiality adds a second lens—impact materiality—covering broader environmental and social effects.

    How often should we conduct a double materiality assessment?

    We recommend annual reviews or whenever there are major changes in operations, stakeholder expectations, or regulations.

    Can we use our existing stakeholder engagement processes?

    Yes. We can build on your current engagement or design new activities that meet CSRD and other framework expectations.

    What’s the output of a double materiality assessment?

    You’ll receive a materiality matrix, supporting documentation, and a clear narrative for use in ESG strategy, risk management, and reporting.
