Get ahead (instead of getting a headache)
We treat DMAs as a strategic tool, revealing big wins for our clients.
The acronyms alone are enough to put you on the back foot: ESRS, CSRD, DMA. But instead of seeing your Double Materiality Assessment as a regulatory burden, we view it as a way to build your competitive intelligence.
We understand the complexities inside and out and simplify them for you and your team. And by mapping your entire ecosystem, we’ll reveal impacts, risks and opportunities with refreshing, strategic clarity.
Box-ticking is the easy part. We’ll help you achieve a whole lot more.
We’ll give you a comprehensive view and actionable insights, not just a compliance report ↓
Big opportunities require a broad view. First, we’ll dive deep into the landscape around you, researching your competitors, analysing your sector, and evaluating your value chain. From here, we’ll build a tailored list of crucial topics that resonate with your stakeholders. This gives us our stakeholder map: the key to engagement and traction.
That’s ‘Impacts, Risks and Opportunities’ in human-speak. We’ll comb through the documentation to understand all the ways your organisation might be harming or helping people and the planet. We’ll collate stakeholder concerns and goals, and identify risks and opportunities for your bottom line. The resulting list will be CSRD-aligned and ESRS-compliant.
DMAs don’t have to include qualitative data, but we always recommend it. Instead of sending out a survey, we’ll engage your team, your customers and your community, analysing the IROs across your value chain. This process requires expertise and dedication, but to be quite honest, we enjoy it, and it reveals invaluable insights to inform your strategy.
We’ll work closely with your subject matter experts and assurance partner to score your IROs and produce a water-tight matrix report. This will give you clarity on high-value focus areas that matter most to your stakeholders, and it will show you what to report against under the ESRS. Most importantly, it will empower you to make more confident strategic decisions.

Put simply, a double materiality assessment is the most effective way to reveal your biggest impacts on people and planet, and the sustainability risks and opportunities that matter most to your business.
It's "double" because it considers both how your company affects the world, and how the world affects your company. If a sustainability issue is significant from either of these perspectives (or both!), then it's considered "material", and you should focus on it.
When supporting you on your DMA, we’ll cover:
Double Materiality Assessments (DMAs) are the cornerstone of reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). And the CSRD relies on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for its list of detailed requirements. (Check out our ESRS vs CSRD blog, or our CSRD & DMA blog for more in-depth explainers.)
You could conduct a DMA to develop an impactful sustainability strategy, or you could be doing it to comply with the CSRD – and we can support you in every aspect of both routes. (Check out our full CSRD support package here.)
