👏 An approach that fits in perfectly with Double Materiality and is a useful extension of it. "The inclusion of #doublemateriality in the recent suite of European legislation (CSRD) to guide corporate reporting is an important step in the right direction" 3 challenges ahead: - Complexity for auditors - Determining threshold of environnemental impact - Let companies assessing themselves "Essential Environmental Impact Variables (EEIVs) is based on planetary materiality rather than a financial or #doublemateriality. This dramatically improves our overall understanding on impacts and risks to the planet, with knock-on effects on companies." The 15th variables of EEIVs are based on 3 levels of data: - Company level - Location and use level - Operations Beatrice Crona Emmy Wassénius Sasha Quahe Stockholm Resilience Centre Finska Vetenskaps-Societeten/Suomen Tiedeseura/The Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters Stockholm University EFRAG Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) Giorgio Parlato Shruti Kashyap The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

🇺🇸 "More companies are now living in a double material world." 👋 Methodology : 250 sustainability reports from S&P 500 companies published between January 1 – July 30, 2024. (source Teneo) "Almost 80% of companies conducted a materiality assessment – about the same percentage as last year. However, the number of companies that have completed (or were in the process of completing) #doublemateriality assessments tripled from 9% in 2023 to 27% in 2024."

🔥 "Notably, larger (AUM) asset owners were more likely to select “very relevant” for double materiality". Tthe bigger the investors, the more they have to look ahead and anticipate. Asset owners are less and less a separate stakeholder, or disconnected. This topic is linked to the debate around the evolution of the fiduciary duty. Single and Double are not opposites, nor are they complementary. It's just that one comes before the other.

Who's around the table? 🇨🇳 China is working on its sustainability reporting standards. The Ministry of Finance has indicated that it is studying alignment with ISSB and EU standards. On Sep 4, Chinese Ministry of Finance appointed 62 Advisory Committee members for Sustainability Disclosure Standards.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Voicu Dan Dragomir Madalina Dumitru catalina gorgan Mirela Paunescu (The Bucharest University of Economic Studies) and Ionela-Corina CHERSAN (Universitatea „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Iași) provide evidence on emerging practices in the #Assessment, #Process, #Impacts, #Risks, and #Opportunities of #DoubleMateriality #Disclosure https://lnkd.in/eFFGA-9D The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive 2022/2464 (CSRD) introduces the concept of double materiality in the preparation of sustainability reports in the European Union (EU) starting in 2024. Our research aim is to provide ex-ante empirical evidence on how large Romanian enterprises perform materiality assessment and disclose impacts, risks, and opportunities. Data are collected from 20 listed Romanian companies, using an inductive approach. Most companies report information on their materiality assessment process; direct, inside out, and positive impacts (and less financial materiality), environmental risks and opportunities, and social impacts. Companies engage mainly with stakeholders in the social realm and less with financial capital providers. The stakeholder engagement process is not continuous, relying predominantly on isolated events. Internal processes are implemented and overseen by dedicated governance structures. Further clarifications and stricter requirements on the implementation of the double materiality concept are needed for the effective application of the CSRD.
