Double materiality
Double materiality is part of the new features of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and forms the basis for deriving strategically relevant sustainability topics and reporting obligations. Companies approach sustainability aspects from two different perspectives.
Inside-Out
The “inside-out” perspective describes the positive and negative effects of corporate actions on the environment and society.
Outside-In
The “outside-in” perspective highlights the opportunities and risks that sustainability issues pose to a company’s financial situation and the future viability of its business model.
Once an issue is considered relevant from at least one of the two perspectives, it becomes subject to reporting.
