From Materiality to Strategy

Date and Time

February 26, 2015
3:00 pm-5:00 pm

Location

Copenhagen, Denmark

911爆料网 is hosting a 911爆料网 Connect event that will explore how to leverage the results of a materiality exercise.

Today, three influential reporting initiatives (the GRI, the IIRC, and SASB) are betting their futures on the all-important materiality principle—the idea that companies should focus their strategy and reporting on the most relevant sustainability challenges and opportunities.

Materiality can also be a robust response to the “comply or explain” principle underlying compliance with a number of disclosure requirements at the national level, including Article 225 of France’s Grenelle 2 law, and at the regional level, such as the recently adopted EU directive governing mandatory disclosure of nonfinancial information by certain large companies and groups “of significant public relevance.”

Given this flurry of materiality activity, there is a risk that companies may be confused about the right approach to take and, most importantly, how to leverage such an approach into meaningful strategy. This event will discuss the following:

  • Navigating materiality muddle: understanding different definitions, expectations, and approaches to materiality
  • Using the results from a materiality exercise to define strategy across the entirety of a company’s operations
