To determine an effective sustainability strategy, business must prioritise. To do this, you must identify, understand and balance the most important issues for your stakeholders, and be aware of how these relate to the actions and decisions you take.
Materiality assessments have been around since the dawn of time. But how can we get beyond traditional failed research techniques to promote a more of a holistic understanding of stakeholder expectations and more effective engagement.
This one-hour session will discuss:
- How things have changed: What does a successful materiality assessment look like in 2019?
- The latest tools, processes and techniques available to help your company define materiality effectively
- How to balance the interests of all relevant stakeholders: And how you show them you’ve done so.
